Circular economy. Reuse, recycle, find new opportunities in the old. We often hear this in connection to our consumption: clothes, food, electronics. But what about the building and construction sector? Established in 2018 by architects from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), in close collaboration with the construction sector and property owners, the company ‘Loopfront’ is offering construction companies and organisations a simpler way to track and reuse their materials. ‘Loopfront’ is ‘reuse made simple’. It is a case of circular economy in practice.
This storymap is a part of the BeUBio storymap series young people whose business ideas, jobs and other activities lead the way towards a different and more sustainable economic path. With a variety of different examples, young people from across the Baltic Sea Region, inspire new ways of making business while having a positive impact to the environment and society. The overall aim is to build a community of like-minded people, by sharing our stories and inspiring each other.
This initiative comes from the BeUBio project, a collaboration between different partners across the Baltic Sea Region pushing for youth participation in the transition to a bio-based economy, and create synergies with other actors and initiatives addressing the SDGs.
