Project Details
Description
ReCreate is an EU Horizon 2020 project that received €12.5 million in funding to investigate the feasibility of deconstructing and reusing precast concrete elements instead of demolishing them. ReCreate pushes the boundaries towards a more circular construction industry by focusing on all stages of the value chain. By choosing reuse instead of demolition and producing new elements for each new structure, the CO2 footprint can be reduced significantly – in some cases, up to 75%!
The project is comprised of a consortium of universities and industry partners across four countries: Finland (project leader Tampere University), Sweden (KTH), Germany (Brandenburg University of Technology), and the Netherlands (TU/e). In each country, a pilot project will performed. This will involve deconstructing a building and then reconstructing a new building using the harvested elements.
