Circular construction
The construction of buildings typically consumes huge amounts of energy. In order to reduce this, in the city of Kassel, Germany, an architect has started an exchange enterprise with a big storage building to reuse and recycle as many building components such as doors, windows, or metal parts as possible. The project has a huge potential since the rubbish stemming from the building sector is, e.g., in Germany in 2023, more than half of all the rubbish produced.
