Visits to state-of-the-art public reuse center models begin!

As part of the project's first activity, which aims to produce a strategy on how to develop innovative reuse centers for building materials salvaged from public sites in North-West-Europe, fieldwork has begun.

One of the first steps for us is to succeed in establishing a state of the art of the possible business models to set and run public reuse centers. To do this, we choose to meet the players in the field and understand how their platforms work in a variety of complementary ways.

During our visits, we look at the platform model in its overall context, and in particular at : 

  • Its scope of action 
  • The history of the center and its evolution 
  • The project's temporality and sustainability 
  • Involvement of public authorities
  • Administrative and legal management of the site 
  • Types of materials used 
  • Source and destination of materials 
  • Business model 
  • General organization and team management 
  • Difficulties experienced and possible improvements
