Circular and digital renewal of central Europe construction and building sector
Program: INTERREG
The construction industry is one of the most natural resource-consumption sectors (more than 50% of all extracted materials, 50% of water, and 1/3 of energy are used in construction, which also produces more than 1/3 of all wastes and 1/3 GHG), therefore boosting the circular economy (CE) in this sector produces a significant impact on central European society\'s well-being and increases its resource efficiency. The current situation of innovation ecosystems for circular and digital construction varies significantly from region to region. While some regions already have good practices of using recycled materials and established administrative procedures (e.g., End-of-Waste criteria), others are still making initial steps towards circular and digital construction (e.g., focusing mainly on backfilling of Construction and Demolition Waste). Nevertheless, the common gaps in all regions are: (1) General reluctance towards Secondary Raw Material (SRM)-based products; (2) Lack of operating SRM-based construction market; (3) Lack of appropriate data about the quality of SRM-based products and their traceability (waste to product flows); (4) Lack of administrative/legal routes for reuse of products; (5) Lack of good practices of circular economy business models; (6) Lack of transnational education program for T-shaped experts.The overall objective of the ReBuilt project is to increase awareness and attractiveness of circular and digital construction through the creation of an education program, upgrade and piloting of new solutions (technical and digital), upgrade demand-side measures, including green labeling, EoW, Green Public Procurement (GPP) and through the creation of first Central European Circular and Digital Construction Strategy, which will be deployed through a network of Regional Circular and Digital Construction Hubs. The project outputs and results will further uptake construction in central Europe, taking into consideration regional and urban/rural specifics.
