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
Transition Pathway for Construction
The EU Commission has produced an excellent document outlining a transition pathway for construction. It aims to offer a bottom-up understanding of the scale, cost, and conditions for resilience, competitiveness, the green and digital transition. It outlines 6 building blocks covering: competitiveness; skills and talent; enabling frameworks; research, innovation and technology; funding; and towards a
ERA industrial technology roadmap for circular technologies and business models in the textile, construction and energy-intensive industries
This roadmap aims to provide policymakers with an overview of the technologies, which cover the entire life cycle of products. They are assessed against five criteria: technology-readiness level; circularity potential; economic performance; contribution to zero pollution; and potential side-effects of implementation.
Roadmap Circular Land Tendering: An Introduction to Circular Building Projects
Metabolic and SGS Search produced an excellent document entitled ‘Roadmap for Circular Land Tendering, which provides guidance on steps that can be taken to stimulate, measure and reward circular building practices and innovation. With this Roadmap, Amsterdam is the first city in the world to develop an instrument for embedding the principles of circular construction
ATU Build360 Research Group
The Build360 research group is based in the ATU Galway-Mayo Department of Building and Civil Engineering. Its aim is to support industry in the transition towards a decarbonized and circular built environment. Current projects include 2 EPA funded projects aiming to develop a Circular Built Environment Roadmap and Playbook for the Irish Construction Sector in
Circular Built Environment Roadmap Funding
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.
EPA Green Enterprise 2022 Funding
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.
