Kira Circularis is a national project to promote the transition of the construction industry to a circular economy. 

The project examines side and surplus materials obtained from companies, as well as their volumes and possibilities for further use, as such or processed. The aim is to find new uses, considering all legislation related to recycling and construction, as well as the environmental and cost impacts of operations.

Materials are researched, manufactured and tested according to the required regulations and, if necessary, further development projects or studies are presented to bring new recycled materials to market.

The aim of the project is to improve the know-how and knowledge of construction companies in the green transition and to create a pathway for companies to a product development partnership. Companies that otherwise lack the expertise and resources for product development and testing will have access to the expertise, technical resources and platforms of six universities of applied sciences. 
The aim is also to create and pilot an innovation process based on co-creation, in which small and medium-sized enterprises also can develop their idea into a functional product or service and the network it requires.
