About the project
Hringvangur—the first (and only so far) Icelandic network for circular construction—was opened as a public-private project as part of the Nordic Networks for Circular Construction (NNCC) project, realised in Iceland by Húsnæðis- og mannvirkjastofnun (HMS) and Grænni byggð.
In 2024, Hringvangur was launched and hosted by Grænni byggð with support from HMS and Verkis. Now, operations must be sustained in the following year and built on the existing solid foundation.
Overview
The project's primary goal is to continue Hringvangur's statutory activities, which are, among
others:
-
managing the platform to promote circular projects and solutions in Iceland;
-
managing the website as a database of existing knowledge on various aspects of
circular construction; -
updating stakeholders with the state-of-the-art;
-
acting as a contract platform to facilitate cooperation between stakeholders.
The project received a grant from Askur - mannvirkjarannsóknasjóður which is funded by Húsnæðis- og mannvirkjastofnun (Icelandic Housing and Construction Authority), Ministry of Social Affairs and Housing and the Ministry of Culture, Innovation and Higher Education.
