Our study about the concrete composite blocks

The study provides an exciting insight into reuse using the example of concrete composite blocks. An inconspicuous object, which we encounter almost daily, becomes an illustration of how the circular economy could function in Switzerland, but has never been presented in this way before. The practical approach to the reuse of building components shows new ways, perspectives and possibilities.
