🚀 From concept to reality: Building the future of circular construction with Digital Product Passports (DPPs)♻️ 📣The latest CIRCULess newsletter is now available 🔥 After months of development, CIRCULess has successfully moved from the conceptual design stage to the active implementation of its Digital Product Passport (DPP), a key tool for improving transparency, traceability, and circularity across construction value chains. 🙏 A special thanks to our partner Zerofect, who is leading this important deliverable and driving the development of the #AeonTrace_DPP_platform. Their work is helping transform how material, process, and supply chain information is collected, managed, and shared across the timber and mineral sectors. 📌 Highlights from this newsletter: 🔹 Completion of the Alpha version of the AeonTrace DPP platform 🔹 Supply chain mapping finalized for timber and mineral material streams 🔹 Technical specifications for the DPP structure completed 🔹 Development of automated data collection through REST API integration 🔹 Progress toward a fully integrated and user-friendly Digital Product Passport platform 🔹 Next steps include Beta development, platform validation, and partner feedback activities 🔎 Why does this matter? Digital Product Passports can improve resource management, increase efficiency, simplify compliance with future EU requirements, and build trust through reliable product information. They are a key enabler for the transition towards a more circular and sustainable construction sector. 📩 Subscribe to the CIRCULess newsletter for more updates: circuless-project.eu/contact… #CIRCULess #DigitalProductPassport #CircularEconomy #ConstructionInnovation #Sustainability #CircularConstruction #Traceability #ResourceEfficiency #DigitalTransformation #EUProjects #HorizonEurope #Innovation #Decarbonisation 🌍 Consortium: ASEMlab - Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) I AIMEN Centro Tecnológico I Holcim I Omtre I FORESTIA I Gjøvik Kommune I R-NanoLab - National Technical University of Athens I DTU - Technical University of Denmark I Luleå University of Technology I UNE - Asociación Española de Normalización I IRES I Global Consulting Sustainability AS I Eindhoven University of Technology I TECNALIA Research & Innovation I Volbas I University of Thessaly I bAvenir I TheGreenTech I Zerofect I University of Hertfordshire

Geri Dönüşüm ve Kaynak Verimliliği ♻️ Artan kaynak tüketimi ve atık üretimi, doğal sistemler üzerinde giderek daha fazla baskı oluşturmaktadır. Bu nedenle geri dönüşüm, yalnızca bir atık yönetimi aracı değil; aynı zamanda sürdürülebilir üretim ve tüketim sistemlerinin temel bir parçasıdır. Malzemelerin yeniden kullanımı ve geri kazanımı; doğal kaynakların korunmasına, enerji tüketiminin azaltılmasına ve sera gazı emisyonlarının düşürülmesine katkı sağlar. Döngüsel ekonomi yaklaşımı, atığı bir sorun değil; yeniden değerlendirilebilir bir kaynak olarak ele alır. Kaynakları korumak, geleceği korumaktır. #GeriDönüşüm #DöngüselEkonomi #KaynakVerimliliği #İklimKoruma #Sürdürülebilirlik --- Recycling and Resource Efficiency ♻️ Increasing resource consumption and waste generation are placing growing pressure on natural systems. Recycling is therefore not only a waste management tool, but also a key component of sustainable production and consumption systems. Reuse and recovery of materials contribute to conserving natural resources, reducing energy consumption and lowering greenhouse gas emissions. The circular economy approach treats waste not as a problem, but as a resource to be reused. Protecting resources means protecting the future. #Recycling #CircularEconomy #ResourceEfficiency #ClimateAction #Sustainability @csbgovtr @EUDelegationTur @ABBaskanligi
