Case Study:

Using recycled concrete in the construction of new buildings

City of Berlin
Objective:
Using recycled concrete in the construction of new buildings

This project aims to overcome preconceived notions about using recycled concrete in building construction. The project also aimed to stimulate demand for recycled concrete as a circular input in the construction market. As a result of the pilot’s success and subsequent uses, the City of Berlin requires recycled concrete to be used in all public high-rise construction projects. This is expected to replace approximately 100,000m3 of standard concrete annually.
