THE 1ST TRANSNATIONAL CENTRAL EUROPEAN CIRCULAR AND DIGITAL CONSTRUCTION CONFERENCE

By: ReBuilt
For the ReBuilt project partners, circular construction is not just an acronym, which is why they organised the 1st Central European Conference for Circular Digital Construction on 13 March 2024 at the premises of the Building Research Institute of Slovenia.

The construction sector consumes 50% of all mined raw materials in Europe, and by 2060, the demand for rock raw materials suitable for construction (aggregates, limestone for cements) will increase the most of all raw materials to 55 gigatonnes of global consumption.

 

What is the solution? Circular construction (reuse, use of secondary raw materials, re-use of construction and other processes according to R-hierarchies), supported by digitalisation.

The conference, organised in the framework of the Interreg Central Europe #ReBuilt project, presented some excellent circular construction practices and digital tools (e.g. Digital’s Product Passport, Digital’s Construction Logs, Circular Construction Platforms, etc.) and the innovation ecosystem created by companies, research and academic institutions and local/regional/national communities.
