1. The circular signature on Upcyclea Net-0
The objective of the circular signature is to provide clear and transparent decision-making tools to demonstrate the effectiveness and added value of the circular economy . It is a report of indicators for measuring the environmental performance of products on a site or at the scale of a building.
Automatically generated on Upcyclea Net-0 , this report is based on operational data contained in material deposits and their associated circular passports. All the indicators present in the circular signature are essential components of the circular economy, in the systemic sense of the term.
This circular signature can be generated in different contexts, including:
- A building's circular signature highlights the environmental performance of its components and sets targets for future renovations to achieve a greater positive building footprint.
- The circular signature of a development zone makes it possible to take stock of the environmental footprint of the buildings and other developments integrated there.
- The circular signature generated at the scale of a community (in EIT approaches for example) highlights the environmental footprint of used products and materials circulating within this territory.
The circular signature includes 4 indicators:
- Carbon footprint : it can be calculated using different indicators:
- Production (A1-A3) : from the extraction of raw materials to final integration into the product.
- Production & Implementation (A1-A5) : includes transport and installation of products in the deposits.
- Total out of use (A1-A5 + B1-B5 + C) : takes into account all stages of the life cycle except energy/water use + module D.
- ICcomponent (RE2020) : emissions linked to construction elements over 50 years, excluding building operation.
- ICconstruction (RE2020) : ICchantier + ICcomposant. Requires knowledge of your ICchantier.
- The degree of non-toxicity : identifies products without harmful CMR or VOC substances.
- The circularity rate : rate of products designed to be dismantled or reused (bio-sourced, recycled).
- Residual economic value : income generated by the circular management of used building resources.
