Built.’s Post

Dear gentle reader, it is the high season of conferences and networking in Oslo. And some Omtre employees will be there to ... * attend, listen and learn; * present new ideas on automated strength grading of reclaimed timber; * talk about systemic barriers in the circular economy transition of the timber construction; * chair a special session on the transition; * be a speaker in a panel on sustainable and innovative construction materials; * have drinks with ice cubes of the #IceBoxChallenge. Let us know if you know someone going to one of these events. Connected projects: SirkTRE x Drastic

These Startups Are Mycoremediating Impacts of the Building Industry https://lnkd.in/dmvvxPz3 Mycocycle and Mogu are harnessing mycelium to transform industrial waste into resilient, circular materials for the construction sector. #circular #construction

This exceptional toolkit is bringing the circular economy to life in the construction sector. The concise guide thoroughly explores materials #recovery and #reuse in construction. Despite remaining development opportunities, it's inspiring to witness FCRBE's impactful efforts. #CircularEconomy #CircularConstruction

Green Products in Data Centers!! Just by adopting to energy efficiency, water conservation, waste management today's data centers are not sustainable, we need to use the products which are sustainable like the raised floor, doors, partitions etc.. which are Green!!! We call upon the data center industry to embrace sustainable products which are friendly to the nature and environment, each year millions square meters of data centers are built globally and everyone uses raised floor made of wood/chipboard/calcium sulphate which are having negative impact on our ecosystem either directly or indirectly, to overcome this we have researched, developed, tested and certified as per EN-12825 Standards raised floor core/panels using waste ligious organic fibers which is 100% GREEN!! much more superior than the present products in terms of Mechanical,Electrical & Chemical properties, light weight, cost effective, fire retardant, water/moisture resistant and much more.. So now is the time for data center industry and critical space industry to adapt for a sustainable practises by using sustainable and ESG Products globally which will have a major impact on our environment, which can substantially reduce the Co2 emission/footprint!! We look forward to a positive feedback/thoughts from Data Center Domain. Contact us: www.confiadoventures.com

"The more information we have on building materials, the better we can support reuse for a sustainable future. Integration with systems like Madaster enhances data accuracy. With the same input, we can generate both a materials passport and an environmental performance calculation in Madaster. When these two elements are also linked together, smart design from Madaster is a piece of cake altogether. It is the database of the future." – Celina van Kruistum, Technical Advisor at BOOT organiserend ingenieursburo bv. The integration with the Fuse Circulair App from Fuse Solutions Inc provides not only a materials passport but also a wealth of valuable information. This enables partners of Madaster Netherlands, including engineering consultancy BOOT organiserend ingenieursburo bv to offer their clients comprehensive sustainable advice. 🤝 Proud of this collaboration that drives circularity Madaster Netherlands. 🏗 Let's accelerate the transition to a circular economy worldwide!

Many companies are on their own sustainability journey and want to learn. But, where are we on the long road to circularity? The best person to ask would be Hilti #sustainability expert Caroline Stern! Over the past few weeks, we’ve been discussing with her the transformative power of #circularity, its practical applications, its successes, and the areas where we can improve. 💡 Want to learn more about circularity and sustainable construction? ✅ Visit: http://spkl.io/604844WoE ✅ Download our free guide: http://spkl.io/604044WoG #SustainabilityAtHilti #Circularity #Construction

What are the best low-carbon alternatives to plasterboard? Working on #nomoregas, I have been forced to reflect on the best path towards net zero and how we designers can help achieve it. My preliminary conclusion was that national policy on retrofit should aim to pragmatically maximise gains with the minimal effort and risk of deep retrofits. One simple step in this direction would be to find better materials, especially the most commonly employed (changes in technologies and methods are hard). Perhaps the most omnipresent of all construction materials today is plasterboard. It turns out it has a massive carbon footprint and few alternatives that can be readily adopted. One company working on such alternatives is Adaptavate, which should soon put a biodegradable, very low-carbon product on the market. To the retrofitters on LinkedIn, do we know any other options? Shall we build a library of like-for-like alternatives?

In the pursuit of a sustainable future, construction technologies play a pivotal role. Learn about the latest advancements and how they are transforming our industry for the better. 🌍🏗️#SustainableConstruction #GreenBuilding #Innovation #ConstructionManagement #EcoFriendly

Over the next two years, six Danish municipalities (Aalborg Kommune, Fredensborg Kommune, Fredericia Kommune, Kolding Kommune, Københavns Kommune, and Odsherred Kommune) will conduct experiments to prototype circular solutions for local reuse and recycling. These solutions will be tested through practical challenges before being scaled up. This Circular Cities innovation project, led by the DDC – Danish Design Center (Gry Brostrøm), focuses on: ◾ Increasing collaboration and development within cities ◾ Strengthening competencies and knowledge transfer ◾ Ensuring political anchoring of circularity ◾ Creating and testing specific circular solutions with industry, business, research, and civil society ◾ Supporting inter-municipal cooperation In addition, the DDC – Danish Design Center provides a digital toolkit 🧐 that contains eight tools to assist cities and companies in transitioning towards a circular economy. ↪ https://lnkd.in/giiFiaum 👋 Circular Copenhagen
