Circular Construction Cluster
About Me.
The Circular Construction Cluster, initiated by the RECONMATIC project and led by project partner Future Needs, is funded by the European Union. It brings together European projects, academia, and industry stakeholders to address one of the biggest environmental challenges in the construction sector - construction and demolition waste (CDW).
Our mission
-
Nurture collaboration between projects and industry.
-
Exchange valuable knowledge on circularity in construction.
-
Increase the impact of innovative results across Europe
Circularity is not only about developing new technologies - such as AI, robotics, automation, and digital twins - but also about creating new collaboration frameworks, improving regulations, and promoting recycled and reused construction materials.
Why It Matters
-
The construction sector:
-
Provides 18 million direct jobs in the EU.
-
Contributes to 9% of the EU’s GDP.
-
Plays a crucial role in addressing social, climate, and energy challenges.
-
Accounts for over one-third of all waste generated in the EU.
By preventing, reusing, and recycling CDW, we move closer to a fully circular and climate-neutral sector.
Our goals
Through the Circular Construction Cluster, we aim to:
-
Develop and demonstrate solutions for industry collaboration and waste traceability.
-
Create learning resources for current and future construction professionals.
-
Contribute to standards and best practices that advance circularity.
The RECONMATIC project proposes innovative tools and techniques to manage CDW throughout the building and infrastructure lifecycle, helping the EU meet targets for waste and energy reduction.
