Abstract: The construction sector plays a crucial role in the transition to a circular economy and a more sustainable society. With this objective in mind, Flanders-the Dutch speaking part of Belgium-makes use of a traceability procedure for construction and demolition waste in order to guarantee that value can be derived from downstream waste processing activities. This article takes this traceability procedure as a legal case study and examines if the use of blockchain technology could lead to even stronger supply chains, better data management, and, more generally, a smoother transition to circular practices in the construction sector.
