🌱 Ehitus 2025+ podcast’s sixth episode is now available! 🎧 How can Estonia make its construction industry more sustainable and smarter in utilizing circular economy principles? 🏗️ In this episode, Aet Ader (President of the Estonian Association of Architects), Ivo Jaanisoo (Deputy Secretary General for the Living Environment and Circular Economy, Kliimaministeerium / Ministry of Climate of Estonia), and Kaja Pae (Head of the Construction and Living Environment Department, Ministry of Climate of Estonia) share their insights. 💡 Key points from the discussion: “Instead of building new structures, the public sector should prioritize refurbishing existing ones,” highlighted Kaja Pae. Aet Ader reflected on medieval practices, where stones from older buildings were reused to create new ones. “This shows that material reuse isn’t a new concept.” ⛪ Ivo Jaanisoo explained the essence of a circular economy in construction: “Sustainable building means materials get a second life in future projects, rather than ending up as waste.” ♻️ 🎙️ Listen to the full discussion on Delfi Tasku. 🎟️ Don’t miss your chance to attend the Ehitus 2025+: "New or Old?" conference and awards gala. #construction #Ehitus2025 #sustainability #renovation #circulareconomy

💥 “On the verge of explosive growth” 💥 In today’s Delfi Ärileht we are talking about our insulation materials, scale-up plans and the ongoing seed round. Some facts for context: The construction industry uses 50% of raw materials and 40% of energy and creates 37% of CO2 emissions. - 75% of EU buildings are inefficient, the target is to renovate 35 mln houses by 2030 for carbon neutrality of buildings. - Mycelium materials are the epitome of efficiency, great unit economics and sustainability, and a perfect example of circular economy turning industries' leftovers into high-performing materials. - More about our case https://lnkd.in/dVnWJMFJ Read the full article here (in Estonian): Thanks for our supporters: Startup Estonia, EASi ja KredExi ühendasutus, Beamline Accelerator, KIK (Environmental Investment Centre), Tehnopol Tallinna Loomeinkubaator / Tallinn Creative Incubator, Timber Architecture Research Center PAKK at the Estonian Academy of Arts European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA), AIBC EUROCLUSTERS Project, European Cluster Collaboration Platform (ECCP)

https://lnkd.in/dqnMTANk Estonia will soon have its carbon footprint database for building materials, as is already the case in Finland https://co2data.fi/ and Sweden https://lnkd.in/dGDe8C4P. The local database is based on the production and market of building materials in Estonia. Based on this, the designers can calculate the environmental friendliness of the solution during design, and thus direct only the best options for execution.

📢 Finland's largest magazine Helsingin Sanomat published yesterday a story about the latest results by Finnish Forest Science Panel (#Metsätiedepaneeli). According to the report, Finland's forests could generate up to €15.6 billion in added value in 2035. This would represent an increase of 80% compared to 2019, without any additional felling of forests. 🔔 Upgrading existing solutions includes areas such as #woodconstruction, #packaging and #textiles, where the panel finds that Finland is not sufficiently exploiting the potential of existing products and markets. On top of wood-based construction products such as #CLT, #LVL, #glulam and #sawngoods, also #plywood could be used more efficiently and extensively in components and structural purposes (gazing into the mirror). 💵 All it takes, is a little bit of belief in a brighter future, more intense and productive collaboration and development together with manufacturers and suppliers, increased capacity and increasing interest by the investors and large scale construction companies. All in all, it takes #belief. And a bit of #marketing. #Skills and #knowhow we Finns already have. Link to the Finnish article: https://lnkd.in/dRGiMQ_Y Link to the report: https://lnkd.in/de9PfgTa

🏗Building a Good Reputation in Construction Industry🏗✨ GOLDBECK is a well-known name in the field of system construction. The company primarily focuses on the realization of logistics and production halls, parking buildings, and offices. It entered our market twenty years ago and has since become the regional company GOLDBECK CEE South, covering Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, and Slovenia. Besides business, GOLDBECK also emphasizes fair relationships with its employees, considering them a top priority and working diligently to maintain them. What can you expect if you join this international company? Despite being a multinational corporation, GOLDBECK still considers itself a family business. They exclusively accept contracts from private investors. For employees, GOLDBECK is not just a brand; it represents real people they can personally meet and interact with. This approach humanizes GOLDBECK, recognizing that know-how comes primarily from individuals, not just their system products. The label of a family business doesn’t hinder their adaptation to modern solutions. For instance, they’ve been gradually eliminating paperwork through digitization, easing the burden on colleagues at construction sites. Their ambitious goal is to embrace ecological practices by 2028, not only in administration but also in construction and by transitioning to electric vehicles. Additionally, GOLDBECK actively collaborates with various startups. They fearlessly explore new technologies within the construction industry, believing that staying ahead of the latest trends will pay off in the coming years. This is GOLDBECK—a family business that has long surpassed its modest goals and continues to grow annually. 🚀 Discover more in the article we prepared in collaboration with the creative team at Forbes! 📰✨ Find the rest of the article in English in the comments below. 👇📚 #LifeInGoldbeck #BuildingExcelence #GOLDBECKCEESouth
