Sustainable Demolition: Recycling and Circular Economy

Sustainable demolition in Berlin: recycling rates, urban mining, selective demolition, and CO2 savings.

Sustainable Demolition: Recycling and Circular Economy

The construction industry accounts for a significant share of waste in Germany. Sustainable demolition reduces landfill waste, conserves resources, and cuts CO2 emissions.

Selective Demolition

Instead of total demolition, selective demolition systematically separates materials: removing hazardous substances first, salvaging reusable components, sorting by type, recycling, and only landfilling non-recyclable remainders.

Urban Mining

Berlin's buildings contain vast quantities of recyclable concrete, brick, steel, copper, wood, and glass.

The Recycled Building Materials Ordinance (EBV)

Since August 2023, the EBV provides uniform federal regulation creating legal certainty for recycled building materials.

Lula Bau's Approach

Selective demolition as standard, over 90% recycling rates for mineral waste, on-site sorting, and certified recycling partnerships. Contact us to learn more.
