Project overview
Circular and digital renewal of central Europe construction and building sector
The construction industry heavily contributes to resource consumption, waste generation, and greenhouse gas emissions. The adoption of circular and digital practices can help reduce the environmental impact of the sector. The ReBuilt project promotes these approaches in an education programme and deploys new solutions. The partners also design a transnational circular and digital construction strategy that builds on green labelling, end-of-waste criteria, and green public procurement.

Roadmap
SPECIFIC PROBLEM
Construction is one of the most resource-intensive sectors (more than 50% of all extracted materials, 50% of water and 1/3 of energy is used in construction, which also produces more than 1/3 of all waste and 1/3 of greenhouse gases).
THE COMMON GAPS (Central Europe)
- General reluctance to embrace SRM-based products. - Lack of a functioning SRM-based construction market. - Lack of adequate data on the quality of SRM-based products and their traceability (waste to product flows). - Lack of administrative/legal channels for product reuse. - Lack of good practices for circular economy business models. - Lack of trans-national training programmes for circular economy professionals. - Unreliable source - spatial heterogenity. - Quality of recyclable material, problematic excessive contaminants. - Too high-quality material tenders making e.g. zse if recycled concerete imposible. - Difficult logistics (SRM separation, insufficient collecting system of SRM). - Afraid of the novelty (no experience about the use of circular and bio-based construction materials). - Public misbelief / mistrust aobout the use of recycled materials (quality, price, convenience).
IDEA
"ReBuilt the mindset."
SOLUTION
The overall objective of the ReBuilt project is to increase the awareness and attractiveness of circular and digital construction through the creation of an education programme, the improvement and piloting of new solutions (technical and digital), the improvement of demand-side measures, including green labelling, EoW, green public procurement, and through the creation of the first Central European circular and digital construction strategy, which will be implemented through a network of regional circular and digital construction hubs.
