Construction's Circular Economy Revolution: From Demolition to Upcycling

The global construction industry generates 2.2 billion tons of waste annually, prompting a search for more sustainable building practices. This article showcases Red Bull's relocatable wooden pit box, and examples of upcycling construction waste, such as transforming old building materials into furniture and lighting, and creating high-value building materials from sawmill waste. It also explores the role of digital tools like 'material passports' in simplifying the reuse of building materials, and uses the reusable fences from Pamplona's Running of the Bulls as an example of how traditional wisdom complements modern sustainable building concepts.
