The event brought together construction companies, contractors, designers, investors, facility managers, and other stakeholders interested in sustainable building solutions and circular materials.

From Theory to Practice

Hosted at the Nigrad material processing site in Dogoše, Maribor, the demonstration visit offered participants direct insight into how circular materials can be successfully applied in real construction settings.

The event included:

  • An overview of circular materials and proven sustainable solutions in practice
  • Presentation of the DEMO solution using hemp-lime acoustic panels
  • Explanation of installation methods and practical use cases
  • Key findings and performance observations
  • On-site inspection and technical discussion
  • Q&A session with experts and stakeholders

Supporting Sustainable Construction Innovation

The hemp-lime acoustic panel demonstration highlighted how alternative bio-based materials can contribute to better sound insulation while supporting circular economy principles, resource efficiency, and lower environmental impact.

By combining practical testing, technical knowledge sharing, and stakeholder dialogue, the event strengthened understanding of how such solutions can be transferred into future building, renovation, and infrastructure projects.

ReBuilt’s Practical Impact

This demonstration activity illustrated one of ReBuilt’s core goals: bridging innovation, research, and real-world implementation.

By showcasing practical circular construction solutions, the project supported broader market awareness, technical learning, and stronger adoption of sustainable materials across Central Europe.

As the project concludes, such pilot demonstrations remain an important example of how innovation can translate into measurable environmental and construction benefits.
