Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

5.2.1 How to Map the Supply Web I

Course subject(s) Module 5. Region

After you have seen how we identify value webs, we would like you to repeat this in a simplified exercise. We’d like to invite you to map the value chain of the most used building materials in your country or city. This exercise will help you understand which elements of the value chain are already circular or have the potential for circularity. As many of you are doing the same exercise, together we’ll build a global image of the value chains of the built environment.

First watch Arnout explain what the exercise is about.

Thinking circular through scales

In the next unit we’ll help you gather the information you need to map the value web step by step.
