Upcycling mineral and timber-based waste from construction & manufacturing process industries through eco-design, advanced logistics, quality control and digital solutions

Project Overview

  • Construction and demolition waste (C&DW) accounts for more than 30% of all waste generated in the EU, reaching approximately 450-500 million tonnes annually: in terms of volume, it is the largest waste stream in the EU across all industrial sectors.

 

  • Timber material generates a tremendous amount of Manufacturing waste annually from building element manufacturing, construction, demolition, and renovation, while only part of it is currently being recovered, with high variability per country.

CIRCULess, a groundbreaking EU-funded initiative coordinated by the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), is pioneering the transformation of mineral and timber-based waste from Europe’s construction and manufacturing sectors into valuable secondary resources. By integrating eco-design, advanced logistics, precise quality control, and state-of-the-art digital solutions, CIRCULess aims to foster a sustainable, resource-efficient, and circular European economy.
