Abstract
The construction industry accounts for 39% of global CO2 emissions, making it the third most polluting industry worldwide. Biobased building materials (BBMs) could play an important role in reducing the environmental impact of the construction industry. This study investigates the barriers and enablers in establishing circular supply chains (CSCs) for BBMs, focusing on Flax and Miscanthus in the Dutch province of Friesland. Using a qualitative research approach and grounded theory for data analysis, this research investigates the barriers and enablers of key stakeholders involved in the transition towards CSCs. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to gather insights into stakeholder needs and barriers. The findings reveal critical barriers, such as regulatory hurdles, lack of demand, and financial and economic barriers, as well as enablers like frontrunners and pilot projects, and closer collaboration amongst stakeholders. By identifying these factors, the study aims to provide actionable strategies to facilitate the adoption of CSCs for BBMs, contributing to the broader goal of reducing the environmental impact of the construction industry.
