The circular economy - The lever for sustainable construction
At REGUPOL, we have been committed to the reuse of secondary raw materials for decades. Our products consist of 75 to 95% recycled materials – materials that have already had a “previous life.” This allows us to significantly reduce our use of primary raw materials and actively contribute to the conservation of resources.
When developing a new product, we always ask ourselves:
Can this task be solved with a recycled material?
The consistent continuation of this approach envisages buildings being viewed as raw material stores. The products used in construction are thus fed back into the manufacturing process for new products. This creates a cycle – circular construction.
Madaster supports us in this endeavor on many levels:
- Networking with like-minded people who are already implementing cradle-to-cradle principles
- The digital building resource passport, which shows which building materials are used in a building, where, how, and in what volume
- Digital documentation of all products used, which makes it possible to transparently display environmental impacts such as the carbon footprint
In the construction process, this not only facilitates planning and documentation, but also creates clear added value in terms of CO₂ accounting, dismantling capability, and reuse.
The circular economy in construction requires above all transparency, digitalization, and networking—and Madaster is the ideal partner for this.
