E-Course: Biomass Circularity & Waste Recycling
What is this E-Course about?
This e-course provides a comprehensive introduction to waste recycling in building contexts, with a particular focus on bioconstruction and biomass circularity. You will learn about the fundamentals of recycling materials in buildings, including the integration of these principles into construction and demolition waste (CDW, in short) management. The course will cover the Waste Framework Directive and explore how bioconstruction practices relate to biomass circularity, highlighting their application in building installations. You will also gain insights into current trends and emerging practices that enhance sustainability in the recycling of building materials.

E-course background
The course has been implemented as part of #RTL or Rebuilding to Last initiative, one of the biggest for Trans Europe Halles. Rebuilding to Last strives to inspire independent cultural centres to revisit their relationship with nature, with their communities and spaces within their walls, in their courtyards and beyond.
We have more e-courses to follow!
Within #RTL initiative, we have more than 10 other courses to offer, in the categories: material circularity, design elements for space energy efficiency, sustainabale and regenerative co-existences.
