The city as raw materials warehouse&#8220;, published in May 2021, edited by Dirk E. Hebel and Felix Heisel, questions the throwaway mentality currently practiced in the construction industry: raw materials are taken from established natural cycles, used and then disposed of without using or even recognizing their potential for continuous value creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Materials are consumed and used instead of being borrowed from biological or technical cycles and then returned there. This linear approach has profound consequences for our planet. We are fundamentally changing existing ecosystems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>International experts examine from very different perspectives, and on the basis of future-oriented project examples, how this paradigm shift can succeed and how the technical, logistical and organizational challenges of a circular economy can be met with completely new methodological approaches. A collection of selected material examples shows the special aesthetics and value of reused and recycled building materials and components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through positive incentives and impulses, the book shows possible ways to a circular construction industry &#8211; because a complete circular economy must become the central and common goal of our society in order to conserve our natural resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Images: Insights in the publication \u00a9 Fraunhofer IRB Verlag<br>More information about the publication on <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.baufachinformation.de\/urban-mining-und-kreislaufgerechtes-bauen\/buecher\/253571\" target=\"_blank\">www.baufachinformation.de<\/a> .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The book &#8222;Urban Mining and Circular Construction.
