PROJECT SUMMARY

The current state of innovation ecosystems for circular and digital construction varies significantly from region to region in Central Europe. Some regions already have good practices in the use of recycled materials, established administrative procedures, such as the criteria for ending the status of waste, others are in the phase of the first steps in the direction of circular and digital construction. There are common gaps, such as a general dislike of products based on secondary raw materials; data on the quality of products based on secondary raw materials and their traceability (flows of waste to products); lack of administrative or legal channels for product reuse; lack of good practices of circular economy business models; lack of a transnational training program for professionals. Project ReBuilt is introducing new solutions and encouraging the adoption of circular and digital practices in the education curriculum, which will help reduce the environmental impact of the construction sector.

The partners will contribute to the goals and results of the ReBuilt project:

  • Increase the awareness and attractiveness of circular and digital construction by developing a new educational program
  • Upgrade, development and testing of new, pilot technical and digital solutions and measures including green labelling, end-of-waste status and green public procurement 
  • Creation of the first Central European strategy for circular and digital construction, which will be implemented through a network of regional circular and digital construction centre
