Reducing CO2 in the construction sector by promoting circular building practices, material reuse and the Future Baltic Bauhaus approach.
Overview: The project paves the way for CO2 reduction in the construction sector by promoting circularity and establishing the “Future Baltic Bauhaus (FBB) – CO2‑reduced” approach across the South Baltic area.
Key objectives: Reduce carbon emissions through reuse and circular building practices, demonstrate new “second life” solutions for the built environment, and provide practical guidance and training for industry stakeholders.
Main activities: Conduct analyses and research on industry practices, regulations and material availability; assess environmental impacts of material reuse versus new materials; develop the Future Baltic Bauhaus guideline and a training programme for planners, SMEs, developers and public authorities; run pilot actions covering material sourcing and storage, planning and building with reused components, and gentle demolition; and prepare policy recommendations for relevant institutions.
Impact: Increased uptake of circular construction methods, reduced CO2 emissions in building projects, improved supply chains for reused materials, strengthened skills across the sector and clearer policy guidance for scaling up CO2‑reduced construction in the South Baltic area.
