Today, the most commonly reused or recycled materials prominent in Icelandic construction are concrete, steel, and wood. Here, you can find an overview of their environmental impact and circularity potential, including how they are and can be reused or recycled. We also present products for which reuse is less commonly discussed - solid interior products and installations.
Circular materials are gaining more and more attention not only due to the environmental aspects (their use decreases natural resource depletion and waste generation) but also due to the general need to improve the security of the supply of materials. Therefore, more and more stakeholders see real economic potential in using secondary materials.
