Compliance of reused construction products
We help ensure that your reusable building products meet the requirements for their new intended use. With our expertise, you can implement circular economy principles effectively in your project.

Verifying the reuse potential of your construction materials
We assess and certify that building components and materials from your site are technically suitable for reuse and recycling, as raw materials, construction materials, or substitute building products. With support from our experts, you can ensure circularity in your project is realised in a sustainable and cost-effective way.
Reuse of demolition site materials
The requirements for reuse and recycling of building parts and materials should be considered from the very start of the demolition project. We carry out a pre-demolition audit of your building, including an inventory of components and materials with reuse or recycling potential.
We act as the independent third-party assessor of material suitability in your project. We verify the acceptability and compliance of recovered raw materials, construction products and components for reuse and recycling.
We also carry out the necessary analyses, testing and product characterisation. Our experts determine the required performance levels and product properties for the intended new use, and handle any product approvals or inspections needed.
Make most of reusable construction materials
Most construction and demolition waste is reusable, yet uncertainty around the suitability of recovered components and materials often slows down reuse and recycling efforts.
Construction and demolition waste can be utilised as raw material for new products, as substitute materials, or as replacement construction components. The criteria for reuse and recycling depend on the intended application and must be assessed accordingly.
Make use of our expertise in sustainable renovation and new construction. We also help you optimise the carbon footprint of construction materials and implement circular economy principles in your project.
