Cemex Poland is participating in the “Reincarnate” project, which aims to extend the life cycle of buildings and building materials and promote closed-loop economy solutions in the construction industry. The project involves 16 organisations from European Union countries, as well as Serbia and Hong Kong. The project, which started in 2022, is funded by the European Commission under the Horizon Europe research and innovation program. Cemex Poland, which joined the project last September, is the only representative of the building materials industry in this group.

“Reincarnate” is a research and development project focused on issues related to the circular economy and seeking to develop technical and social measures that give new possibilities to buildings, building products and materials – thus maximising their life cycle and determining whether they are suitable for reuse.

Together with partner Mostostal Warszawa, Cemex is developing solutions to extend the life cycle of a building and thus reduce construction and demolition waste. The goal is also to develop digital tools i.e., BIM to track materials, manage CDW (Construction and Demolition Waste) and reduce CO2.   PLGBC, the Polish Green Building Association, is also a partner in Poland.
