Towards more circular and intelligent construction thanks to DEMOLTECH

by Carolina Solino
in News, Projects
Comments

CETIM is researching disruptive technologies for the design, revaluation of materials and raw materials, demolition work, waste management, recycling, and the search for a second life for construction and demolition waste. Currently, due to the large amount of waste we produce, it is necessary to seek new technologies that improve recycling, reuse, and recovery processes. This is especially true when it comes to Construction and Demolition...
