How can the Nordic region work together and inspire each other to support increased reuse of construction products?
A new report provides the basis for answering that question by providing an overview of the European and Nordic policy initiatives.

Nordic Sustainable Construction

Nordic Sustainable Construction works to fulfill the ambition in Nordic Vision 2030 of establishing the Nordics as a leading region in sustainable and competitive construction and housing. To reach this vision, we work to accelerate the knowledge and capacity for a green transition in the Nordic construction sector, to ensure an aligned Nordic path in this transition and to strengthen collaboration – also beyond the Nordics. Within sustainable construction, we focus on Nordic harmonisation of life cycle assessment, sustainable construction materials and architecture, circular business models and procurement, increased reuse of construction materials, and emission-free construction sites.
