With the revision of the Ecodesign Directive, the EU is taking an important step towards ensuring healthy and recyclable products for all EU citizens. It is more than welcome that the proposal covers a broader range of products and no longer exclusively includes energy-related products. Ecodesign requirements must not be limited to just a few products; instead, it should be the EU’s goal and also aspiration to define precise quality requirements for all products.

Climate change, species extinction, raw materials crisis, Corona pandemic … A look at the world shows: We need a master plan now, otherwise we will continue to stumble from one crisis to the next. The basic prerequisite for this must be to build an economy that no longer reduces its negative consequences, but leaves a positive footprint.

Die Coronakrise als Chance zu feiern wäre zynisch. Den Neustart, den sie verursacht, nicht für die Installation eines Updates zu nutzen, wäre fahrlässig.

Handreichung – C2C im Bau: Orientierung für Kommunen
Unser Ziel ist es, Impulse, Hilfestellungen und Antworten auf Fragen anzubieten, denen Bauherr*innen und insbesondere die öffentliche Hand bei einem C2C-inspirierten Bauprojekt begegnen. Die Inhalte wurden im Rahmen von Workshops, Interviews und Schreibwochenenden festgelegt, verfeinert und vertieft.
Diese Handreichung ist in enger Zusammenarbeit zwischen der Nordakademie-Stiftung, Cradle to Cradle NGO (C2C NGO) und ehrenamtlich Aktiven des Bündnis Bau und Architektur (BBA) von C2C NGO entstanden. Zudem haben verschiedene Expert*innen das Projektteam durch fachliche Beiträge und im Review-Prozess unterstützt. Gemeinsam und in Form eines Co-Creation-Prozesses haben wir nach und nach die Themen und die Struktur erarbeitet.
Die Handreichung ist nicht abgeschlossen. Sie kann und soll sich kontinuierlich weiterentwickeln, um Innovationen im Bereich C2C-Baustoffe und C2C-inspiriertes Bauen auch künftig abbilden zu können. Wir laden daher die Bau- und Immobilienwirtschaft sowie kommunale Vertreter*innen herzlich ein, sich daran zu beteiligen. Nehmen Sie für Feedback, Ergänzungen oder zum Austausch gerne Kontakt mit uns auf.
