The European Patent Office in Vienna, Austria is being renovated using Holcim's sustainable building solutions from foundation to rooftop! Our ECOPact low-carbon concrete with ECOCycle® inside was used throughout. Elevate roofing was also chosen to maximize the building’s energy efficiency. Once completed, the European Patent Office will achieve BREEAM ‘Outstanding’ certification as a sustainable building. 🏢 Retrofitting an existing building reduces the environmental impact of construction. It generates less waste and reduces the need for new materials.   ♻️ Renovating with circular building solutions containing recycled materials lowers construction-related CO2 emissions compared to standard materials.   💪 Using building solutions designed for energy efficiency reduces heating and cooling needs – decreasing a building’s lifetime emissions.   Here's more on the project 👉 https://lnkd.in/eCpaGKSU   #BuildingProgress #CircularConstruction #Innovation

In an interview with Canale Energia, Professor and Chairholder Sébastien BOURDIN emphasized the growing role of regional strategies in advancing the circular economy. Regional approaches can stimulate local innovation, create jobs, and reduce dependence on external resources, helping regions become more sustainable and resilient, especially those in economic decline. Key Takeaways: 1. Broader potential: Digital integration and a shift from waste management to sustainable design and shared resource models offer untapped opportunities. 2. Collaborative governance: Coordination at all levels (local, regional, national) and including stakeholders are crucial for aligning policies and strategies, requiring clear communication, cross-sector cooperation, and shared best practices. 3. Inspiring examples: Cities like City of Amsterdam and Grenoble-Alpes Métropole (Pôle R) lead with innovative circular economy strategies, driving waste reduction, sustainable construction, and reuse. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eWU9ASXb
