Measures and strategies for increased circularity and resource efficiency
There are growing demands to build sustainably, since the construction sector accounts for nearly 40 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions and for a fifth of emissions in Sweden. The challenges facing the construction sector include making conscious material choices, preparing climate declarations in the case of new construction and renovation work, reusing materials in connection with renovations, etc. Please get in touch, so that we can help you.
With its wide-ranging skills and experience, IVL can offer you tailored support every step of the way to achieve increased resource efficiency based on your needs and conditions. To save the climate and reduce the over-exploitation of Earth’s resources, we need to develop more circular and resource-efficient solutions. This means that we need to get better at extending the service life of products and using resources more smartly, in everything from manufacturing and design to use and recycling. Developments are moving rapidly and there are increasing demands from the market and customers for more sustainable solutions. By working actively on the transition to a more circular economy, new business opportunities and greater competitiveness are also being created. IVL will help your local authority, organisation or company, based on your specific conditions, with measures and strategies for increasing circularity and resource efficiency within areas such as plastics, textile and electronics.
