International supply chain analysis : research on the value chains of steel, concrete, asphalt and wood

Rijkswaterstaat (RWS) is responsible for the renewal and maintenance of construction and infrastructure to keep the Netherlands sustainable and liveable.

RWS launched a series of studies to provide insights into the most relevant supply chains to lead to a clear international strategy.

This research provides insights into the volumes of these value chains and the main risks in these chains. Moreover, it describes the circular developments and solutions and provides policy recommendations and suggestions for stakeholder collaborations in order to move towards circular construction and infrastructure.
