\ufeff<\/span>Maximizing sustainability: how RecycleBIM turns demolition waste into reusable resources with cutting-edge technology and global expertise<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In recent years, sustainability has become an absolute priority, and the construction sector is no exception. This time, the focus has been on the theme of circularity of construction materials<\/strong>, an approach that aims to minimize waste produced on-site and maximize the reuse and recycling of materials. This philosophy contrasts with the traditional linear model that involves the use and then disposal of materials, promoting instead a continuous cycle of resource use and reuse.<\/p>\n

A crucial variable in this process is certainly Building Information Modelling<\/em> (BIM), a new working methodology that, thanks to integrated management tools<\/a>, allows for optimization of construction projects. BIM enables the creation of highly detailed 3D digital models of buildings, providing valuable information on every phase of a project’s life cycle, from design to demolition. Through BIM, it is possible to efficiently plan the reuse and recycling of materials, catalog and estimate the quantities of each material, evaluate the timing and phases of demolition, thus improving the overall sustainability of constructions. All this is only possible by creating the project digital model, namely the 3D model that faithfully represents its real version and constitutes a container of information to be implemented over time.<\/p>\n

Regarding this important topic, ACCA software is also contributing its experience and advanced technologies by actively participating in the RecycleBIM project, a significant multinational and multi-actor initiative aimed at developing an integrated framework for the circularity of construction materials.<\/p>\n

This work has been partially funded by the ERA-MIN 3 action, which has received funding from the European Union under the Horizon 2020<\/em> program from the European Commission grant agreement No. 101003575.<\/p>\n

RecycleBIM: what is it about<\/h2>\n

The RecycleBIM project represents an important initiative to promote sustainability and circularity of construction materials through the advanced use of BIM. Thanks to this project, it will be possible to investigate procedures to improve the management of building materials, reduce environmental impact, and promote more efficient and sustainable construction practices.<\/p>\n

The main objective is to exploit the potential of BIM to promote sustainability<\/strong> and efficiency in the management of building materials, from their use to the dismantling and recycling phase. The project has a duration of three years and started in May 2022. Many partners are involved, with prominent profiles ranging from the world of research and universities to the construction market.<\/p>\n
