Boosting The Uptake Of Circular Integrated Solutions In Construction Value Chains
Expanding Circular Value Chain Solutions For The Construction Sectornumerous Green Initiatives Advocate For Action In Cities And Urban Environments, With A Particular Emphasis On Implementing Circular Solutions Within Large, Resource-Intensive Industries Like Construction. However, The Effective Implementation Of These Solutions Can Be Complex And Restrictive. The Eu-Funded Circ-Boost Project Will Address These Challenges By Establishing Five Diverse Pilot Projects Across Europe, Advanced By A Digital Building Platform – A Robust Data Chain Across These Pilots. The Pilot Projects Aim To Facilitate The Development Of Urban Material Databanks And Digital Twins, Thereby Promoting Improved Practices In Demolition, Recycling, And More. Additionally, These Initiatives Will Assist In The Introduction Of Innovative Solutions And Construction Value Chain Enhancements. The Consortium Will Work Towards Ensuring Their Successful Implementation And Expansion Through Training Activities, And Collaborations With Regional Partners And Sister Projects.

Objective
In order to upscale circular solutions in buildings and the construction sector in general, a concentrated research effort involving multiple actors and stakeholders is needed. This includes the development and deployment of both digital and technical solutions in building urban material databanks, digital twins, as well as demolition, decontamination and recycling and reuse of waste materials. With this in mind, the Circ-Boost project proposes to become a focal point and interaction node for different emerging technologies to foster circularity in buildings and the construction sector. The project's core consists of five pilot projects, deployed in different European regions, highlighting and demonstrating at large scale novel and integrated solutions for demolition, construction waste processing, management, and valorisation in new products. Transversal activities of digitalization will allow collaboration between the pilot projects and more efficient use of digital tools and platforms. Targeted activities are envisioned for boosting and maximising the pilot projects' commercial and business potential through effective exploitation measures. Furthermore, in order to ensure that the solutions demonstrated will actually be adopted by the industry, the project will support construction and design companies in educating and training their workforce to optimally use the new technologies as part of training activities. The Circ-Boost project will also leverage the partners' existing regional and international networks and connect with new networks, initiatives, and projects to disseminate and compare project results with
