Unravelling the circular economy

The Environmental Innovation Centre (EIC) explains why the construction industry could do with “nutrition labels” for building products. The circular economy is often represented as a simple loop — make, use, recover, and use again. But in reality, keeping building materials in the loop is anything but simple. And maybe that’s the point. A circular […] The post Unravelling the circular economy appeared first on Building Today.

Unbuild Better: A case study in deconstruction

AAP's Felix Heisel, supported by an Einhorn Center grant, is leading a team in the deconstruction of one of 11 houses being removed to make way for the Catherine Commons development in Collegetown. The project is a local case study promoting a more sustainable ("circular economy") approach to building materials, and is expected to inform a proposed local ordnance that, if enacted, would make Ithaca one of a small number of U.S. cities requiring deconstruction for certain buildings.
