Reconmatic

RECONMATIC receives funding from the H2020 Research & Innovation Programme. It proposes a suite of innovative tools & techniques to build bridges through "bottom-up" construction and demolition waste (CDW) prevention and handling to reach "top-down" European waste reduction goals. The project's agenda reflects the call objectives, with a focus on integrated decision making that would allow considering all aspects of CDW generation and involving all stakeholders within the construction industry. Current practices in CDW management, from prevention and minimization of waste to its reuse, will be evaluated and markets to support the supply chains and #circulareconomy models will be identified. Consequently, a digital information management system for stakeholders' collaboration and waste traceability will be developed, tested and demonstrated. It is envisaged that the CDW minimization will be achieved by empowering BIM and integrating #wastemanagement relevant data into the information models. Processes of converting different formats of construction information to the digital twins will be automated, as well as the decision-making system for repurposing, deconstruction and demolition. The consortium involves 7 research institutions, 10 small to medium enterprises, 5 large companies and 1 association, representing 5 EU countries, UK and China. The feasibility and efficiency of the developed solutions will be evaluated using 6 demonstrators. The posts reflect the view of the project partners.
