EU-MAT


The 'EU-MAT: Effective Urban Material Mining in Cities' project addresses the low material circularity in construction across the northern regions of Finland, Sweden, and Norway, where logistical challenges and vast distances hinder efficient material reuse.

By utilizing advanced material analysis, tailored mining techniques, and innovative product design, we aim to minimize waste, optimize resource recovery, and promote circular economy practices within the construction and demolition sectors. The cross-border stakeholder engagement, regulatory analysis, and collaborative pilot projects will significantly help in overcoming cross-border regulatory barriers and ensure the practical applicability of its findings across diverse urban contexts in northern cities across the globe.

Work Packages:

  1. WP01: Circularity Analysis of Building Materials
  2. WP02: Buildings as material stock & mining
  3. WP03: Development of Circular Building Products
  4. WP04: Integrated Logistics
