In this report, the Business and Value Case working group that was part of the Open Learning Environment Circular Bridges and Viaducts in the Netherlands details its findings on four possible circular business models for infrastructure. The four circular business models include:
1. Coordination of modular infrastructure by a government agency,
2. Buy-back guarantees by infrastructure companies,
3. Viaduct As a Service and
4. Infrastructure companies and its clients jointly operating in consortia (‘All-in Consortium’).
Infrastructure construction projects have a heavy environmental footprint. At the same time, large parts of existing infrastructure require renovation and there is a growing future need for additional infrastructure that is safe, durable and economically viable.
There is a clear need to explore how we can merge the requirement for increased sustainability in infrastructure with the practical requirements. Circular business models potentially hold the answer to this question.
