Schleswig-Holstein Materials Testing Institute and Forum for the Circular Economy in Construction
Building and sustainability – how do they go together? Approaches to finding solutions will be presented by the Forum for the Circular Economy in Construction network and the Schleswig-Holstein Materials Testing Institute in Hall 1 at the Holstenhallen Neumünster exhibition centre from 6 to 10 September 2023. The association of important players and associations in the construction industry, led by the Lübeck University of Technology and the testing institute located there, would like to jointly draw attention to the importance of the circular economy in construction and present its possibilities. The aim is to plan and implement construction projects in such a way that, on the one hand, as few resources as possible are used and, on the other hand, individual materials can be reused later in the best possible way. Prof. Dr. Raphael Kampmann, Professor of Building Materials Technology at the Lübeck University of Applied Sciences and Head of the Materials Testing Institute SH emphasises: “The aspect of “ReUse” should always be considered in a building project. Our laboratory can contribute to optimisation through material testing. The term waste has to be redefined and lived, because most of the time, previous waste is another mineral building material that just needs to be put to the right further use.”
There is not yet a suitable solution for everything, which is why one focus of the players in Hall 1 is on the exchange of different disciplines and ideas. Planners and architects, associations and administrations, crafts and science.
Start-up Stage 2023 – new companies meet established industry players
Networking and exchange is also the motto of the Start-up Stage 2023, which will be presented for the first time in Hall 4. LECTURA GmbH initiated this format with the support of the Federal Association for Digital Construction (BDBau). Young companies are given the opportunity here to enter into conversation with the classic construction industry. Ideas and concepts can be presented, pitfalls recognised and deadlocked paths broken. It is intended to be a mutual exchange that can be continued throughout the year on various channels. On all five days of the fair, there will be short presentations of the start-ups on a separate stage in Hall 4, otherwise the contact persons will be available for an uncomplicated meeting.
