Call 2020 Resource Efficiency and Circular Economy Final Programme Report
This document provides an overview of the Conference of European Directors of Roads (CEDR) funded projects CERCOM and PROCEEDR, funded as part of CEDR’s Transnational Road Research Programme 2020. The primary outputs of the CERCOM project are first presented, including: (1) best practice guidance on how National Road Authorities (NRAs) can transition from a linear to a circular economy; (2) the CERCOM Risk Based Analysis Framework (RBAF) and software Tool; and (3) the CERCOM demonstration case studies. Subsequently, PROCEEDR is introduced and guidance is provided around sustainability policies and recommendations. The PROCEEDR tool is then presented which evaluates the resource efficiency and circularity potential of roadside noise and safety barriers. The findings from the final programme conference are presented in order to draw conclusions and next step for programme implementation by CEDR NRAs. Recommendations are then provided to CEDR in the short, medium and long term. Initially, NRAs are encouraged to implement the CERCOM Circularity Rubric in order to identify transition pathways, as well as to consider application use cases for the PROCEEDR tool. Subsequently, it is recommended that the CERCOM Risk Based Analysis Framework (RBAF) be implemented at full scale for a construction and maintenance project. This can be supplemented with refinement of the application of the PROCEEDR tool to a real use case. The final goal for CERCOM implementation is to consider application of the RBAF to the Tender process. Furthermore, consideration of the extension of the PROCEEDR tool to other street furniture would facilitate scalable application of the outcomes of this work programme.
