Project description
A concrete transition towards circular construction
Concrete – the most widely used construction material – underlies nearly every permanent structure on the planet. What happens to concrete when buildings are no longer needed? The EU-funded ReCreate project will investigate the systemic changes needed in the whole ecosystem of construction and demolition to make these practices more circular. By drawing from partnerships covering the entire value chain, the project will demonstrate deconstruction of intact precast structural components from condemned buildings for reuse in new buildings in real-life innovative pilots. The potential volume of the supply and demand for secondary concrete components in the EU will also be assessed. The project’s overall goal is to boost concrete reuse and help the EU reach its ambitious energy and climate targets.
