Circular Economy

Proptech Innovation is dedicated to promoting the principles of the Circular Economy - an economic system aimed at reducing waste, reusing resources, and regenerating our natural environment. We recognize the crucial role of this approach in achieving sustainability in the real estate and construction industry.

Take a look at our projects below.

Project: Kontiki

10

 

The Kontiki project aims to transform the value chain for ventilation ducts into a circular value chain, allowing the transfer of ventilation ducts from one building to another across organizational numbers, while promoting reuse.

Therefore, the project is about redefining the lifecycle, in addition to industry collaboration, innovation, and sustainable change. The project team has gathered stakeholders from the entire value chain; remarkably, competitors have jointly shaped the industry. "Out of sight, out of mind" no longer applies to our ventilation systems.

Do the goals of the Kontiki project inspire you? We invite you to join us on this exciting journey towards creating a circular value chain. For more information on how you can participate, please get in touch with project coordinator Jon Eidset.

Project: Donor Building Registry

Byggeplass

 

The Donor Building Registry is an initiative to promote reuse and recycling in construction and real estate. By providing a database of buildings to be demolished or undergoing major renovations, we facilitate the transfer of reusable materials and components between projects.

By participating in this project, you contribute to a circular economy, reduce construction waste, and promote sustainability in our industry. In addition to preserving the environment, this initiative creates new opportunities for cost savings and innovation.

Join us in this significant step towards sustainable construction and real estate practices. For more information, please get in touch with Anita Martinsen.

Project: Urban Mining

Bergen utsikt

This project based in Bergen is an example of how cities can drive the transition to a circular economy. With its rich architectural heritage, Bergen provides the perfect framework for a sustainable recycling strategy.

The project takes a holistic approach to reusing valuable materials from buildings to be demolished or renovated. By treating the city as a "mine" of valuable resources, our goal is to reduce construction waste, lower carbon emissions, and promote resource efficiency.

Join us in the Urban Mining project and contribute to a greener, more sustainable future for our city and industry. For more information, please get in touch with Sissel Fjellstad.

Project: Panteon

Betong

 

The Panteon project aims to explore and promote the reuse of concrete structures. Through interdisciplinary collaboration with researchers, contractors, architects, and legislators, Panteon seeks to explore and address concrete reuse's technical, economic, and legal aspects. This will include case studies, workshops, and field visits to potential reuse projects.

The goal is to develop industry guidelines for reusing concrete structures and stimulate practical implementation by the end of 2024. The results from this project will contribute to reduced CO2 emissions and resource consumption and bring economic benefits to the industry. In the Panteon project, stakeholders from different sectors will be involved to ensure a holistic approach. This includes:

Public authorities: For regulation and support
Engineers: For technical expertise and structural assessment
Architects: For design and sustainable solutions
Builders/Developers: For reuse requirements and ordering expertise

Together, these stakeholders will work to develop industry guidelines and best practices for reusing concrete structures. For more information, please get in touch with Brita Svartveit.
