The Bauteilkatalog zur Wiederverwendung is an initiative by the Canton of Basel-Stadt to advance the circular economy by encouraging the reuse of building materials in construction projects. This approach plays a pivotal role in minimizing gray energy—the hidden energy costs embedded in materials—and combating the overuse of natural resources in the building industry.
The catalog offers a curated selection of reusable materials. By integrating these components into the designs, architects, planners, and engineers can actively contribute to resource-efficient and environmentally responsible construction.
Each material listed in the catalog represents an opportunity to reduce waste, lower emissions, and embrace sustainability without compromising quality or functionality. The reuse of components not only preserves valuable resources but also supports the construction of innovative and ecologically sound new buildings.
The Bauteilkatalog zur Wiederverwendung underscores the importance of rethinking traditional construction practices by adopting a circular economy model that benefits both the environment and the building sector.
