Circular Innovation: Valobat Supports Innovation
Valobat encourages and supports you in implementing innovative solutions to maintain circularity and resource efficiency in the building industry!
Why innovation in the building industry is key to accelerating the circular economy
The building industry is one of the largest consumers of natural resources and generates a significant amount of waste. Faced with environmental challenges and sustainability imperatives, innovation plays a key role in transforming this industry and transitioning to a circular economy in three major areas: recycling, reuse, and eco-design.
Innovation is an essential lever for transitioning to a circular economy. By promoting recycling, reuse, and eco-design, industry players can both reduce their environmental impact and comply with new regulatory and societal requirements. This transformation requires close collaboration among companies, architects, engineers, and public authorities to develop sustainable and profitable solutions for the future of building.
Get your company on board with Circular Innovation
Keep up on Valobat’s Calls for Projects (AAP) and Calls for Expressions of Interest (AMI) throughout the year to get your company involved with circular innovation, particularly in the following topics:
Recycling: a second life for materials
Recycling is an essential component of the circular economy for construction. It reduces the demand for virgin raw materials and decreases the industry’s carbon footprint.
Reuse: extending the lifespan of materials
Unlike recycling, which transforms materials, reuse gives them a second life without transformation. This approach significantly reduces waste production and saves valuable resources. Innovations in this area include:
Eco-design: anticipating environmental impact from the design stage
