The project will create functions to improve the recycling of construction and demolition waste, such as common database, data bank and marketplace.

The project develops circular economy operating models to increase the efficiency of construction and demolition waste recycling and to reduce CO2 emissions. The aim of the project is to digitize and automate the collection of information on recyclable furniture, fixtures and materials for demolition and construction sites. In addition, the aim is to transfer the collected data to a public marketplace in order to increase the efficiency of construction and demolition waste recycling. The aim is also to develop operating models for the construction and demolition business and to identify and promote new business opportunities.
