Abstract

With the increasing importance of platform ecosystems for value creation and capture in the emerging economies, the platform ecosystems have also proliferated across the circular economy in the built environment. Platform ecosystems are a useful medium that connects and enables seemingly geographically dispersed and diverse businesses to exchange products and services. Initiating and designing a new platform ecosystem for the circular economy in the built environment is challenging. Thus, our case study explores the challenges of initiating and designing an emerging platform ecosystem for the recirculation of the construction waste materials and industrial production side streams across the built environment. This study presents the challenges of an initiative by the several platform owners that combined their capabilities and resources in one efficient network to support circular economy growth in the built environment. Specifically, we offer insights into how several platform owners initiative and design multi-platform ecosystems. A specific challenge identified in this study is the design of the multi-platform ecosystem for equal value creation and capture by the platform owners. This study further draws recommendations for the policymakers while contributing to the literature on the platformization for the circular economy in the built environment.
