The Interreg project "RiBa" - using recycling in construction - focuses on the use of recycled building materials in building construction. In this context, we invite you to an exchange on the framework conditions and practical experience of circular construction.

The reuse and recycling of building materials is not a new topic. Recycled building materials are mainly used in civil engineering, in the construction of roads, railroad lines, noise barriers and privacy walls. However, recycled solid construction materials are also being used more and more in building construction. It is foreseeable that circular construction methods and the reuse of building components will play an increasingly important role in the future.

Nevertheless, legal uncertainties and a lack of information and experience still represent a major obstacle. The "RiBa" project aims to make a positive contribution here and take the topic of recycling in building construction a step further.

Topics of the event on July 15, 2026

  • Keynote speech by Tobias Gotthardt, State Secretary at the Bavarian State Ministry of Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy
  • Political and legal framework conditions
  • Practical know-how: implemented projects and field reports

The event is aimed at companies in the construction industry, architects and planners, private and municipal decision-makers and anyone interested in discussing the topic of circular construction.

The event is free of charge!
