Assessing the need for a digital reuse platform

Published 27-11-2025

Future Baltic Bauhaus is currently deepening its understanding of market needs related to increasing the use of reused materials in the construction sector. As the industry accounts for 40% of Sweden’s annual waste, there is significant potential to reduce climate impact through smarter use of existing resources.

Interviews with local stakeholders show that early information about upcoming renovation, refurbishment and new-build projects is crucial for enabling reuse. To address this, we are developing a concept for a digital platform that provides early insight into planned construction activities and potential material resources in the Kalmar region.

We are now inviting industry actors to complete a short survey to help us assess how useful such a platform could be and how it might best support the transition towards more circular construction practices.
