The reuse of construction components is considered as a higher value process in a Circular Economy (CE) than recycling. However, this is not yet widely adopted as many barriers still prevent the successful integration of the concept. The ISO20887 standard advocates that the implementation of construction standards will benefit circular reuse. Yet, these standards still need to be developed. To better understand the views of the construction sector, a survey was sent to the network of the Green Deal on Circular Construction (GDCC), led by Circular Flanders. The survey (number of recipients = 629, response rate = 16%) investigates the current implementation of Design for Disassembly and the reuse of construction components. Additionally, it investigates the respondents' view on how a further morphological standardisation of components and connections, as well as standardisation of procedures can facilitate this reuse of construction components. The result is a concrete set of action points and corresponding actors who need to take responsibility. The stakeholders point out that there is no legal framework for component reuse. Yet, this framework can only be created through their largescale cooperation to create the needed construction standards that will truly enable the circular reuse of components.
建筑构件的再利用被认为是循环经济（CE）中比回收更有价值的过程。然而，由于许多障碍仍然阻碍着该概念的成功整合，因此这尚未得到广泛采用。ISO20887 标准主张实施建筑标准将有利于循环再利用。然而，这些标准仍有待制定。为了更好地了解建筑行业的观点，向由 Circular Flanders 领导的循环建筑绿色协议（GDCC）网络发送了一份调查。该调查（收件人数量=629，回复率=16%）调查了目前的拆卸设计和建筑构件再利用的实施情况。此外，它还调查了受访者对进一步实现组件和连接的形态标准化以及程序标准化如何促进这种建筑构件的再利用的看法。调查结果是一整套具体的行动要点和相应的责任人。利益相关者指出，建筑构件再利用没有法律框架。然而，只有通过他们的大规模合作来制定必要的建筑标准，才能真正实现建筑构件的循环再利用，从而创建该框架。
