Abstract
Platform ecosystems have proliferated, being useful mediums that connect and enable seemingly geographically dispersed and diverse businesses to exchange products and services. However, initiating and designing a new platform ecosystem for the circular economy in the built environment is challenging. Our case study explores the challenges of initiating and designing an emerging platform ecosystem to recirculate the construction waste materials and industrial production side streams across the built environment. Our study offers insights into how several platform owners initiate and design multi-platform ecosystems by combining their capabilities and resources into one efficient network to support the circular economy growth in the built environment. A specific challenge identified is designing the multi-platform ecosystem, a business model, for equal value creation and capture by the platform owners. This study provides recommendations for the policymakers while contributing to the literature on the platformisation for the circular economy in the built environment.
