In recent years, innovation in circular construction and small-scale experiments have provided us with a glimpse of a more circular future within the construction sector. Recently, political agreements concerning new policies and guidelines for sustainable construction has further accelerated the need for an alternative to our current practices. However, it is still more efficient, cheaper and faster to build using a traditional linear approach, which is a major systemic challenge for the circular transition. That’s why we’ve launched the Circle Bank-project. We want to create an integrated, scalable and cost-effective circular value chain able to outcompete the linear construction practice on market terms by solving the existing research and market challenges. The Circle Bank project will: - Quantify the environmental & social value related to circular economy within the construction sector. - Create a decision support tool to guide building owners through circular choices. - Make design of new buildings with secondary building materials and components (SBMC) more efficient through coherent value chains. - Support a transparent and steady supply of SBMC. - Address uncertainties related to technical & environmental quality of SBMC. We’re launching a digital platform, which aims to become the circular construction sector’s main collaboration hub - from design to demolition. The project is a collaboration between TREDJE NATUR, MATTER bybrix, J. Jensen A/S, HD Lab, twentyfifty, Danish Technological Institute, Syddansk Universitet - University of Southern Denmark, Roskilde Municipality, Middelfart Municipality, Danica Real Estate & Lejerbo. The project is co-financed by Realdania & Innovation Fund Denmark
