The construction industry is one of the largest contributors to global waste and carbon emissions. According to the European Commission, construction and demolition activities account for approximately 35% of the EU’s total waste and nearly 40% of its energy consumption. In an era where sustainability is no longer optional but essential, The Zero Waste Project emerges as a powerful force for change.

🚧 The Challenge: Construction’s Environmental Footprint
The current linear model of construction—take, make, dispose—is unsustainable. Every year, Europe produces over 450 million tonnes of construction and demolition waste (CDW). Despite some progress, a large proportion of this waste still ends up in landfills, causing environmental degradation and resource depletion.

Moreover, the construction sector is under pressure to help meet the EU’s climate targets, including the ambitious goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030 (compared to 1990 levels). To achieve this, the industry must adopt innovative solutions that reduce waste, reuse materials, and lower emissions.

The Zero Waste Project aims to revolutionize construction waste management across Europe. By integrating BIM, AI, robotics, and 3D printing, we empower professionals to reduce their environmental impact and embrace the 4Rs: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Rebuy.

Our goal? A 55% emissions reduction by 2030 and a more sustainable, circular future for cities and communities.
