Circular economy


For the timber industry, the circular economy is currently primarily a transformation task. The legal framework is far from being fully established. Are you planning a building demolition or a major renovation? Our expert reports help you identify potential opportunities and interpret possible implementation scenarios in terms of their practical feasibility.

We offer


Deconstruction audit

While conventional building demolition often disregards the structural preservation of wooden components, this is precisely the focus during deconstruction. Installed wooden structures are assessed during the deconstruction audit in terms of their recycling potential and economic value. We offer clear recommendations on whether and how the wood used in your building can be repurposed. This ensures that wooden components retain their value.

  • Investigation of pollutants

    Conventional pollutant and contaminant investigation hardly covers the environmentally relevant properties of wood-based building products and is not designed for the structure-preserving dismantling of wood. Our methods for representative sampling and our focus on precisely those analytes that are relevant in terms of previous use and circularity potential create the basis for the optimal handling of existing structures.
