Description
In collaboration with local disposal sites and demolition companies, reuse yards alongside their recycling yards will be established as a pioneering solution for the interim storage of used materials, particularly windows. These yards will thus be integrated into an existing decentralized system for material collection and urban harvesting. The pilot disseminates the basis for establishing an efficient process for the reuse of building components in Switzerland to support a system transition towards CE.
