Digitalising the deconstruction process
The construction industry is responsible for more than one-third of all waste produced in the European Union. The Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW) includes numerous material types in large volumes like concrete, bricks, wood, metals, gypsum, plastics, etc., and this also includes the treatment of hazardous materials such as asbestos in smaller quantities.
The current practice of supply chain actors does not employ sufficient reuse of such materials, with the exception for metallic elements, which is detrimental to a circular economy (CE). In order to boost reuse principles in the construction sector, supply chain actors need more convenient ways to identify materials with high reuse potential and streamline the process from deconstruction to reuse. Thus, the development of adapted digital tools and platforms is a first step in addressing two major challenges for the construction sector: digitalisation and CE. Making a materials inventory of a building and assessing the reuse potential of each building component are key elements. Usually, these processes are paper-based and manual, but digitalisation is expected to bring significant improvements. This chapter elaborates on the different emerging technologies which enable circularity around the building and construction sector. We then present a collaborative process supporting the definition of reuse strategy and its implementation in the Digital Deconstruction integrated platform, following by a pilot case in Luxembourg where the application has been deployed.
