The component scale is crucial in the transition to a circular built environment. In this video, Olga presents the Circular Building Product Canvas, an heuristic framework we can use to map and manage the making of circular building products.

• The Circular Building Product Canvas is an heuristic framework we can use both for identifying the circular characteristics of a building product, but also for further exploring a product’s potential to become circular.
• The Circular Building Product Canvas consists of four domains: [1] Materials; [2] Design; [3] Manufacturing; and [4] Management.
• There is no one way of using the Canvas: one can start analyzing an existing product or an idea for a product from any of the four domains. However, it is important that eventually all domains are taken into consideration and their interdependencies are recognized.
