Boosting circularity in urban construction: new business models and digital tools
During our stakeholder meeting we want to present and discuss:
- How circular business models in construction can be built and operated based on a set of real life tested technical solutions implemented in the CINDERELA project with focus on a degraded area revitalization, repurposing an industrial site, utilizing a waste stream from metallurgical industry and recycled plastic from municipal waste, cascade recycling with recovery of phosphorus from sewage sludge.
- What are the market and legal conditions stimulating such business models?
- How the digital environment provided by CinderOSS may help creating digital circular construction hubs in local environments that support the creation of regenerative cities while offering sustainable business opportunities for construction companies.
Key objectives
The conference is designed to:
- help construction companies understand the growing business case for sustainable solutions based on SRM
- demonstrate to companies , investors, waste stream managers and local/regional authorities how to drive a circular change in urban construction projects with the use of locally available resources obtained from waste streams generated in urban contexts;
- showcase the technical solutions for regeneration, recovery or repurposing of urban space with the use of SRM in real applications;
-
present the digital environment CinderOSS and its potential to:
and building materials manufacturers : a springboard for sustainable innovations and business models based on locally identified and valorised SRM, - to cities and regional authorities as a local/regional circular economy policy tool for improving utilisation of available resources, narrowing the material loops for construction applications and improving sustainability of urban construction sector .
Who should attend?
The conference provides an added value to construction companies, city and regional authorities, investors, waste stream managers ( industries, utilities, waste processors), structural designers, degraded site owners, members of the scientific community, policy makers, and other professionals interested in circular business models and tools facilitating circularity in urban construction sector .
Agenda overview
- Introductory session during which we would like to present the overview of the aspects of implementing circular approaches in urban construction and the role of technologies, digitalisation and circular business models in addressing
- 2 Technical sessions dedicated to :
- Presentation of 4 technological solutions in addressing urban construction projects dedicated to degraded sites revitalisation, repurposing of unusable industrial areas and maximising the utilisation of urban waste streams by cascade recycling and disruptive technologies (3D printing) demonstrated in real conditions under the CINDERELA project
- Presentation of the digital environment: the CINDERELA one-stop shop as a comprehensive tool for exploiting and supporting circular construction business models and ecosystems in cities and regions.
- Panel discussion on how public authorities in cities and regions, the construction sector and the waste steams managers may benefit from digitalization like the CinderOSS tool. To improve the utilisation of locally/regionally resources recovered from waste for construction purposes, provide sustainable business opportunities for building sector and support cities and regions in implementing the circular economy strategies and targets
Agenda:
09:00 – 09:30 | Registration, welcome coffee |
09:30 – 10:00 | Opening Session |
Short welcome and introduction by CINDERELA Project Coordinator Alenka Mauko Pranjić, Slovenian National Building and Civil Engineering Institute Keynote speech : The challenges and opportunities for the circular economy transition in the urban construction sector Speaker: Dr. Ana Mladenovič, Head of Laboratory for Stone, Aggregates and Recycled Materials, Slovenian National Building and Civil Engineering Institute Driving a circular change in urban construction trough technologies, digitalisation and circular business models: the CINDERELA project innovations achieved Alenka Mauko Pranjić, Cinderela Project Coordinator, Slovenian National Building and Civil Engineering Institute |
|
10:00 – 10:45 | Session 1 Technical solutions for sustainable value creation in urban construction The session will present technical solutions for utilizing secondary raw materials recovered from urban and industrial waste streams for site redevelopment/ unused industrial sites repurposing projects developed and demonstrated in real conditions in the CINDERELA project. They can be leveraged by cities to drive the circular change in local/regional construction projects and by companies as enablers of circular business models |
