As an intern in the Circularity and Sustainability Impact research group, I analyzed the material stocks and flows for residential buildings in the Netherlands, researched options for increasing circularity, and specifically looked at how modular construction could influence the material flows for housing in the Netherlands by constructing a dynamic material flow analysis (MFA) model.

The research was part of the Circular Options Inventory Network (COIN) project led by the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency (PBL). COIN aimed to develop a comprehensive set of data on all product categories in the Netherlands, quantifying product stocks and flows, identifying relevant circularity strategies, and calculating environmental impacts, in order to create a shared knowledge base to guide the circularity transition.
