This paper examines circular economy opportunities within the construction sector, emphasising market dynamics, value chain collaboration, and industrial symbiosis. It stems from multi-stakeholder consultations led by ENEA and involving key actors, synthesizing barriers, drivers, and strategic pathways to advance circularity, resource efficiency, and decarbonization in construction and infrastructure. Despite limited policy focus on green infrastructure, emerging EU instruments signal increased prioritization of sustainable infrastructure investments. The study highlights the importance of integrated approaches to accelerate the transition toward a Sustainable Built Environment.
