ReCreate is an EU funded projects which aims to establish an effective method to deconstruct and reuse precast concrete.
The production of cement alone accounts for 5-8% of annual carbon emissions globally, reusing precast concrete can reduce energy consumption of single elements by 93-98%. Recreate will run 4 pilot studies in member states to (DE, FI, SE, NL) to conduct their project, early signs are promising with 1 building achieving 99% reuse.
