Thementisch Zirkuläres Bauen
The construction industry is responsible for up to 60 percent of global resource consumption, while construction waste in Germany accounts for more than half of the total waste generated. Circular economy approaches can make an effective contribution here to reduce resource consumption and CO2 emissions. In terms of resource and climate protection, the topic of circular construction is therefore very important. This involves not only thinking about a building from construction to demolition, but rather ensuring that construction waste is no longer just disposed of, but is incorporated into a new value creation cycle as much as possible.
Goals
The goal of the thematic table is to bring relevant stakeholder groups along the value chain together for an exchange. This will identify and discuss opportunities and challenges, implementation barriers, and necessary framework conditions in order to derive concrete approaches for action.
Participants
Companies along the value chain
Associations from the brewing industry
Universities and research institutions
BLB NRW
NRW Ministries
Chamber of Industry and Commerce

We are creating new living spaces
The era of lignite mining is ending in the Rhenish mining region. The region is embarking on a new climate-neutral and livable future. This includes the transformation towards a circular economy. The construction sector plays an important role in this. The project's goal is therefore to promote sustainable construction around the Garzweiler open-cast mine with its new landscapes and settlements.
The LANDFOLGE Garzweiler special-purpose association is supported by the municipalities of Mönchengladbach, Erkelenz, Grevenbroich, Jüchen, Titz, and Bedburg. In cooperation with the city of Mönchengladbach, the Aachen University of Applied Sciences, and other partners, it aims to establish an interdisciplinary network that enables exchange and collaboration on various aspects of sustainable construction. As visible examples, flagship buildings will be constructed on the edge of the open-cast mine by the special-purpose association and in the Lürrip district by the city of Mönchengladbach. They are intended to showcase innovative construction products and processes and serve as platforms for knowledge exchange.
Traditionally, the planning and construction of sustainable buildings are based on the three pillars of sustainability: ecology, economy, and social aspects. Taking these into account, as well as the goals of the economic and structural program for the Rhenish future region, five overarching fields of action have been defined for the strategic orientation of the project: Resources & Circularity, Climate Protection, Energy, Comfort & Health, and Cost-Optimized Planning & Construction. They are intended to serve as guidelines for all project activities, especially for the construction of the flagship buildings. A special focus is placed on circular and resource-optimized construction.

ABE - AACHEN BUILDING EXPERTS e.V.
ABE: The innovation network along the entire value chain of the construction and real estate industry
The AACHEN BUILDING EXPERTS e. V. (ABE) was founded in 2016 by 33 founding members in the presence of the then NRW Minister of Construction, Michael Groschek.
Today, ABE has more than 160 members. The innovation network brings together leading companies from the construction and real estate industry with the renowned universities RWTH Aachen and FH Aachen, as well as pioneering start-ups. The common goal is to promote and implement innovations through close and direct cooperation between science and business, and to develop new concepts for initial and continuing education.
What makes us unique
Companies and offices from all areas of the value chain – including project development and real estate portfolios, architecture, planning and engineering, as well as construction execution, trades, and manufacturers – work together in practice-oriented projects and visionary groups.
New degree programs, practice-oriented further training, innovative sustainable materials, Smart Building, Building Information Modeling (BIM), robotics, and resource-efficient and circular construction are just some of the topics we are driving forward together!
ABE members include market-defining supra-regional large companies as well as leading medium-sized companies, research and university institutions, and promising start-ups in the construction and real estate sector.
ABE bundles, supports, and networks these interdisciplinary expertises through knowledge transfer and networking events, working groups, seminars, and further training. The innovation network benefits from the driving force of a dynamic, full-time team.
With more than 160 member companies and extensive activities, ABE is established far beyond the Rhineland: with focal points from Aachen via Cologne and Düsseldorf to Bielefeld, in the greater Frankfurt area, and in Stuttgart. – And the expansion continues.

KREGI – Klima- und Ressourceneffizienz in Gewerbe- und Industriegebieten
The nationwide pilot project KREGI is setting new standards for climate- and resource-friendly commercial areas. KREGI stands for climate and resource efficiency in commercial and industrial areas. Under the leadership of the Factor X Agency of Entwicklungsgesellschaft indeland GmbH and ResScore GmbH, a project team of experts is creating a comprehensive and quantifiable catalog of measures for the planning and construction of resource-efficient commercial areas. With this, KREGI is creating transparency about the impact of measures to improve climate and resource protection for the first time. Depending on the environmental impact of the measures, they are assigned points and brought together in a web application. Through application in partner municipalities in indeland, the new KREGI catalog of measures is being directly tested in practice and can subsequently be applied in all regions of Germany.

BioökonomieREVIER
BioökonomieREVIER as a model region for sustainable business and innovative circular processes.
New perspectives for the economy, the environment and society – that is what BioökonomieREVIER in the Rhineland region aims to achieve in a time of change. A regional innovation system is to be created that takes up and further develops the region's strengths.
Places with history are thus becoming places of the future – in so-called profile locations where the bioeconomy becomes tangible: such as Bürgewald, the former Morschenich-Alt. With the Agri-Food-Energy Park and the new coordination office, a vibrant center is being created there where agriculture, research and technology jointly advance sustainable solutions.
Thus, the Rhineland region is gradually developing into a beacon for a circular, climate-neutral bioeconomy – with model character far beyond the region. BioökonomieREVIER stands for structural change that conserves resources, involves people and creates new perspectives.
