🌍✨ Highlights from our 2-Day Circular Economy Session in Vilstal at SocialTech4EU, where I had the honor of working with Återbygget ekonomisk förening, a swedish circular economy company, on how we can implement the Circular Industrial Economy in the Swedish Building and Construction Sector! ✨🌍
This transformative event brought together industry leaders, innovators, and visionaries committed to reshaping the way we do business in the future.
Day 1
Education on Circular Operations
We first delved into general Circular Economy principles to provide a base understanding of the goals and strategies used in the future building and construction sector. Moreover, we identified the clear value proposition, the involved stakeholders through an eco-systemic analysis and crucial insights about the use of Industry 4.0 & 5.0 Technologies, such as BIM Models and digital apps and platforms.
Day 2
Establishing a strategy roadmap
We then streamlined reuse, preventive maintenance, renovation, refurbishing and repairing operations for existing products and materials in the construction sector. Moreover, a digital secondary raw material marketplace coupled with consultancy and education services for their clients was provided.
This not only provides transparency/verifiability of data for the reduction of waste and emissions, it also reduces costs for all parties involved and creates job opportunities.
Key takeaways:
🔄 Circular Business Models: We managed to keep the value loop for technical cycles as small as possible, thereby increasing socio-economic and environmental KPIs.
♻️ Waste Reduction Strategies: By following the circular economy strategies, the waste concerning existing infrastructure can be reduced to near 0.
🏗️ Cutting-Edge Technologies: By reintegrating products and materials back into the economy through a digital secondary material market, we have integrated the use of technology into a clear environmental and sustainable use case.
🌱 Environmental Impact Assessment: Clear reductions on the emission savings were quantified.
🤝 Collaborative Partnerships: Collaborations among all involved stakeholders were achieved to manage complexities.
💼 Consulting Services: Theoretical education and practical implementation were combined.
As we move forward, watch this space for updates on upcoming initiatives and opportunities toward a Circular Economy in the building sector!
Thank you Återbygget ekonomisk förening for the great weekend and your dedication to circular principles in the building sector. With these projects, it is clear to me that the circular economy can and will be the future of the building and construction sector.
Also a big thank you to Inga Wiele, Natascha Brunner and all the participants for this amazing event. Looking forward to the next one!
