Construction Sector

From design to demolition, we support construction companies, architecture firms, material suppliers and real estate investors. 

Three areas of intervention: management of construction site waste, selection of building materials, redesign of construction criteria.

Rethinking the places we live in from a circular perspective, in line with the 2030 Agenda

We bring concrete, bricks and metals back into circulation

We transform the construction site into a closed ecosystem. Every demolition becomes an urban mine. Every project starts from available materials, not virgin ones.


Access a network of over 20,000 companies where concrete, bricks, wood and metals find new life instead of ending up in landfill.

1

Technical characterization of Construction and Demolition materials for End-of-Waste management and legal reuse on site or within the supply chain

2

Creation of local networks for the recovery and enhancement of excavation and demolition materials, promoting the reuse of resources within the territory

3

Strategic selection of bio-based materials with low environmental impact

4

Life Cycle Assessment of environmental impact for individual components or the entire structure, quantifying embodied energy and carbon footprint

5

Continuous monitoring and matching between supply and demand of recovered materials through a digital platform

New lives for materials
edilizia-1
From the rice paddy to the wall

Straw and rice waste become insulating panels: lightweight, thermal, breathable. Installation as easy as concrete, environmental impact close to zero.

edilizia-2
From the fields to the ceiling

Mushrooms grown on shavings and agricultural waste produce compostable acoustic panels. Same performance as plastics, zero final waste.

edilizia-3
From old building to new building

Refurbishments with 90% of materials recovered from the existing building. 50% savings on energy and raw materials. New modular constructions that are 90% recyclable and dismountable.

We design supply chains that work

We transform the construction site into a closed ecosystem. Every demolition becomes an urban mine. Every project starts from available materials, not virgin ones.


And access a network of over 20,000 companies where concrete, bricks, wood and metals find new life instead of ending up in landfill.

We maximize the use of certified recycled materials

We design selective demolition to recover value

We technically qualify C&D materials

We organize waste sorting on site

We improve the energy efficiency of building envelopes

We prioritize retrofit and reuse over new construction

We implement Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)
