Embodied carbon makes up the majority of the full life-cycle carbon footprint of new buildings in the Nordics. Upcycling - turning waste of today into buildings for the future - is one of the solutions that the industry will need to progress and scale.
Visit the Copenhagen urban area ‘Ørestaden’, where new housing projects provide hands-on learnings from pragmatic solutions to reuse windows, wood, concrete, bricks and steel in ways that can move the needle. For example, the development ‘Upcycle Studios’ consists 69% of upcycled waste materials.
In connection with the IPE Real Estate & Global Conference & Awards 2021 programme, NREP welcomes delegates to attend its breakfast and then experience real-life projects pioneering new ways to lower our industry’s footprint.
