Half of the Earth’s raw materials are used for construction and demolition & construction waste accounts for about a third of all waste generated. Buildings are also a major source of energy consumption as 40% of energy is consumed in buildings.

This makes it obvious that there is large potential for circularity in all phases in the life cycle of buildings. Existing buildings and infrastructure also form an important materials bank.

To transform the construction industry, new innovations are needed. We have chosen 5 Nordic circular startups to demonstrate to you what kind of concrete solutions exists for the different parts of the building’s life cycle; design, production of building materials, building, use and repair and demolition.

Our expert panelists Ismo Tiittanen, YIT Vice President, Strategy and executive support and Amanda Borneke, entrepreneur and advocate for sustainable construction practices in Sweden, will be adding their input to these startups. 

E-commerce is growing at a staggering rate and revenues are expected to double during the next 
10 years. Now is the time to bring circular economy into the e-commerce ecosystem.

Circular economy requires system changes, new ideas and new partnerships. In collaboration with actors that have the power to impact the transformation, we want to explore how this can enhance your business and we will support you to go from vision to concrete action. Join us in a Nordic LOOP Lab 
split into two creative sessions 
focusing on action!

What?

Two (free of charge) digital workshops based on design thinking methodology. Our team will facilitate and the session does not require any preparations from you. We only expect you to bring and share your own insights and experiences.
