The European-funded Circular Biobased Construction Industry (CBCI) project investigates how we can use raw materials in construction more efficiently, thereby reducing CO2 emissions. Not only in the construction phase, but throughout the entire life cycle of a building. For the transition to a circular economy, an integral approach to circular and biobased construction has been
The guide is organized into a practical questions that come up in every construction project: How do I get started? Which aspects of circular construction do I include in my project? How do I follow up on them? How can I evaluate my project after delivery? The ‘Circular Built’ tool is a guidance tool that
The project ‘CIRCULAR FOAM – Systemic expansion of territorial CIRCULAR Ecosystems for end-of-life FOAM’ will develop and demonstrate all technological steps required to achieve circularity of plastics in post-consumer applications, using the example of rigid PU foams used as insulation in refrigerators and construction, see link.
Pop-Machina is a Horizon 2020 project that seeks to highlight and reinforce the links between the maker movement and circular economy in order to promote environmental sustainability and generate socio-economic benefits in European cities, see link
The MOBile and Innovative Circularity for CONstruction PROducts (MOBICCON-PRO) project will develop, introduce and demonstrate integrated innovative circular solutions to recover resources from construction and demolition waste (CDW) and decrease consumption of raw construction materials by applying in-situ selective separation/demolition, novel CDW recycling and production of recycled and innovative construction materials, components and products, see
The Build360 team is delighted to announce that it has received funding under the EPA Research Call 2022 to develop a Circular Economy Roadmap for the Irish Built Environment Sector in collaboration with the Irish Green Building Council (IGBC), TU Dublin, and the University of Galway.
The Build 360 team is delighted to announce that it was successful in applying for funding under the EPA Green Enterprise Scheme 2022. The project will be led by the Irish Green Building Council in collaboration with Limerick 2030, the Regional Waste Management Planning Offices, and the Atlantic Technological University. The project ‘CE-Con’ aims to
Transmitting the knowledge for the green regeneration of the European Concrete Heritage
Digital Deconstruction (DDC) is an innovated Interreg Northwest Europe project, which aims to develop an innovative digital decision support system, integrating various digital tools (3D scanning, Building Information Modelling, a digital materials and buildings database, blockchain technology) to define the most sustainable and economical deconstruction and reuse strategy for building. https://www.nweurope.eu/projects/project-search/digital-deconstruction/#tab-1
The Circular EcoBIM project aims to create a set of BIM based tools to enable a circular construction model. The three tools that are proposed will help architects and building managers to improve the environmental performance and increase the amount of reused, recovered and recycled construction materials.
WOOL2LOOP provides new smart demolition and sorting technologies combined with a novel analysis method for mineral wool waste that enables separating the material based on its suitability for alkali-activation. Geopolymer technology makes it possible to use mineral wool waste as a valuable resource for new ceramic or concrete-type products as pioneered by University of Oulu,
Build-in-Wood is a European funded Horizon 2020 project with the goal of drastically increasing the proportion of timber construction. https://www.build-in-wood.eu/
