ReBuilt

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

Regional HUB for ReBuilt

As part of the ReBuilt project, BURST serves as one of the hosts of the regional thematic hub for Hungary

Hungary’s hub focuses on the policy of innovation, acting as a bridge between circular economy goals and practical implementation in the built environment. The hub leads policy activities, multi-stakeholder consultations, and advocacy for incentive mechanisms. It aims to build policy capacity and promote cross-sector collaboration to inform national and regional strategies. They will make the network between the industry, architects and investors for circular and digital construction.

Activities:

• Innovation policy
• Promotion of the cross-sector collaboration to transfer into the circular economy and digital in the construction sector
• Practical implementation in the built environment
• Multi-stakeholder consultations for circular and digital construction in the direction of business models
• Different capacity building events
