Urban mining: how old raw materials can be put to new use

The concept of urban mining is becoming increasingly important in the construction industry. It enables the reuse of materials from demolition projects. The targeted recycling of building materials produces valuable secondary raw materials that can be used in new construction projects. The aim is to reduce dependence on new, often scarce raw materials.

The process involves the careful separation and processing of materials such as plaster, concrete and wood in order to make them usable for new construction projects. Urban mining therefore not only conserves resources, but also helps to reduce construction waste. By recycling old materials, construction companies can minimize their ecological footprint and reduce energy consumption.

One example of the successful application of urban mining is the dismantling of a town hall, where materials were selectively dismantled and recycled locally to save resources and minimize environmental impact. This approach shows that sustainable building practices can be implemented in practice and offer economic and environmental benefits.
