SUMMARY:BioReCer- and 3-CO-Webinar: Certification and Innovation in Bio-Based Construction
DESCRIPTION:5 February 2025\, 13:00-14:30 CET\, online \nThe construction sector is one of the most significant contributors to global CO₂ emissions\, accounting for approximately 37 % of energy- and processing-related carbon dioxide emissions worldwide (UNEP\, 2022). It further accounts for about 50% of all extracted materials (EC\, 2025). As the building industry seeks to reduce its environmental impact\, bio-based materials are emerging as a promising solution for more sustainable construction.\nCertification plays a critical role in this transformation\, providing a robust framework for validating the sustainability performance and attesting to the environmental credentials of these innovative bio-based materials. To address this critical issue and explore innovative approaches\, the EU-funded research projects 3-CO and BioReCer are organising a comprehensive webinar on certification and innovation in bio-based construction materials. \nA Holistic Approach to Sustainable Construction\nThis informative event\, scheduled for 25 February 2025\, at 13:00 CEST\, will explore the entire range of bio-based construction materials and their diverse applications. The webinar will cover crucial aspects of sustainable building\, including:\n\nThe importance of certification for bio-based products\,\nSustainable building design\, conception\, and planning\,\nMaterial recommendations\,\nBuilding passports as tools for capturing and communicating building data\, material composition\, and environmental performance\,\nCircularity indicators and their role in assessing a building’s sustainability\, including the new ISO 59040 standard for Product Circularity Data Sheets\, which emphasises circular concepts such as design for disassembly.\nDifferent assessment methods for sustainability of buildings and for constructions\, including the Quality Seal for Sustainable Buildings (QNG)\, e.g.\, CO2-footprint for buildings.\n\nExpert perspective on innovation\nThe webinar brings together a distinguished panel of experts from certification bodies\, public institutions\, and innovative producers:\n\nMartin Behrens (Agency for Renewable Resources (FNR))\nSergiy Kovalenco (CEO and Founder of Hempire)\nHein van Tuijl (EPEA Benelux)\n\nThese will share their extensive knowledge on material innovation\, certification processes\, and the political environment that shapes sustainable construction.\n\nEnvironmental benefits of bio-based materials\nBio-based materials significantly contribute to reducing carbon emissions in construction and its defossiliation. For example\, wood-based structures act as carbon sinks by storing CO₂ throughout their lifecycle. Similarly\, hemp insulation provides excellent thermal performance with a lower environmental footprint compared to conventional materials.\nThis webinar serves as a platform for fostering collaborative change within the construction sector. By connecting diverse stakeholders from innovative material producers to forward-thinking municipalities\, from certification experts to architectural visionaries\, the research projects 3-CO and BioReCer aim to facilitate meaningful discussions that can lead to actionable solutions for sustainable building practices.\nJoin the conversion on 25 February 2025\, at 13:00 CEST.\nRegister here! \n
