CABE addresses the challenge of construction waste in urban areas by developing innovative infrastructures for urban resource sharing and circular solutions. The project aims to create a cadastre approach, tracing mechanisms, and a market for reused materials, ultimately reducing environmental impacts in cities. It will deliver digital tools, including an urban building material cadastre and a secondary material information platform, while also analysing the market effects and social aspects of resource sharing. A key expected result is the reduction of construction materials in landfills, fostering job creation and sustainable urban growth.
