The second Workshop of the Social Experiment on Circular Economy in Construction and Buildings by the Cyprus Organization for Standardization (CYS) successfully took place on January 23^rd.

The workshop was attended by stakeholders representing the construction industry, competent authorities and academia/ research.

The workshop is based on the outcomes of the first workshop, which stated the overall challenge the industry is facing towards transitioning to a circular model. Applying an interactive process and a methodology of value proposition canvas, CYS seeks to draft three different value propositions that could support overcoming constraints and barriers, as well as incentivising or facilitating the aspects of legislation/policy, market and collaboration.

The outcomes of the workshop will be assessed against five criteria: innovation, circularity, collaboration, inclusivity, feasibility, ranked accordingly. The three value propositions will be presented for comments and validation to a wider audience during the 3rd workshop and the preferable solution will be awarded.

The partners and stakeholders who took part at the workshop made the event a huge success, by actively sharing their knowhow, thoughts and enthusiasm.

CYS shares its gratitude to all participants for their support.
