New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) aunched a year-long pilot of the Circular Construction Hub at MADE Bush Terminal in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. The hub will be operated by Our Temenos, a Brooklyn-based ecological landscaping firm, and will focus on the recovery, storage, sorting, and redistribution of construction materials to reduce waste, extend material lifecycles, and generate real-world data on the feasibility of reuse-oriented construction supply chains within New York City.

The initiative will inform future efforts to scale programmatic investments supporting the implementation of circular construction practices citywide, advancing both climate goals and the continued growth of the green economy, according to NYCEDC.

“Right now, when a construction site in our city tears something out, most of it ends up in a landfill, even when it can still be used,” said New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. “This pilot is about changing that. We’re going to recover those materials at MADE Bush Terminal, store them and put them back to work.”
