Sustainability and Circularity Assessment Tool (CONSCAT)

A semi-qualitative instrument designed to integrate circularity and sustainability strategies related to construction and demolition waste across all stages of a building's lifecycle.

Digital information management system (DIMS)

A tool tailored for construction and demolition waste management that focuses on improving data collection, integration, and analysis throughout the design, procurement, construction, and decommissioning.

About
RECONMATIC

The main goal of RECONMATIC is to test, validate and integrate innovative solutions and tools for C&D waste management within the whole life-cycle of buildings and infrastructure, in order to address the challenge for a zero waste construction industry in Europe and a low energy consuming sector. This will be achieved by developing automated tools and digitalised processes and decision-making, in order to mitigate and reduce waste, and to foster higher added value reuse of C&D waste materials.

Infographic: Where Are the Women in Construction STEM?

Construction today is changing fast. It’s becoming more digital, more climate-focused, and more science-driven than ever before, especially as Europe moves toward circular construction , where materials are reused, waste is reduced, and buildings are designed for long-term value. And yet, when it comes to women in STEM roles in construction, the situation still feels like an empty page, a tiny dot of visibility in a huge sector. This is exactly why RECONMATIC is launching thi
