Get inspired by the CBCI expo

Construction is a major consumer of materials and accounts for about 33% of total CO2 emissions. Currently, the components and materials used are often not adaptable during their life cycle. Nor are they made of renewable, bio-based materials. This is because most building projects are still designed in a linear way, which makes material reuse difficult. A transition from today's 'linear construction' to bio-based, circular construction is necessary.

The Circular Bio-based Construction Industry (CBCI) project investigates how we can use raw materials in construction more efficiently, thereby reducing CO2 emissions. Not only in the construction phase, but throughout a building's life cycle. For the transition to a circular economy, an integrated approach to circular and bio-based building is being developed, which is the basis for the construction industry.

In the expo at Kamp C, you will find out how to achieve an integral approach, which bio-based materials were tested and actually used in this project, how two real-life building projects or living labs came about and what lessons we learned from them.
