The Flemish Circular Concrete Agreement is a pioneering initiative to transform the Flemish concrete sector into a circular and sustainable industry. The agreement seeks to reduce the environmental impact of concrete production, use raw materials more efficiently and promote concrete recycling. More than 84 contractors, concrete producers, engineering firms, federations and governments have already committed to this initiative.
The fact that both organisations are signing this agreement is self-evident. West Flanders has been at the forefront of circular construction for years. The province and POM West Flanders invested together in Acasus, the inspiration and knowledge centre for sustainable living, building and renovation. Here, individuals as well as companies receive professional advice on energy efficiency, use of materials and sustainable and environmentally friendly construction practices.
POM West Flanders had already begun collaborations between knowledge institutions and construction professionals a few years back to convince them of the added value of more sustainable alternatives to standard concrete. With partners like KU Leuven Campus Bruges, Buildwise and Groen Beton Vert, this foundation took solid shape with the arrival of Circular Concrete Centre.
