Upscaling Circular & Modular Housing
The housing challenge in the Euregio offers an opportunity to apply circular principles on a large scale. ECCBT focuses on stimulating industrial and modular construction, in which homes are designed using reusable materials and flexible structures. This approach increases the speed and affordability of housing construction and reduces the sector’s dependence on scarce raw materials. By linking circularity to scaling up, a model emerges in which sustainability and societal challenges go hand in hand.
