Project name

Building Reuse Innovation Center

[PROPOSED PROJECT; NOT YET DEVELOPED]

• "Concept for a material reuse facility focused on streamlining deconstruction and redistribution through workforce development, inventory storage and management, and community engagement."
• "The intent of the facility is to increase reuse capabilities and broaden demand for recovered
  commercial construction materials while providing significant benefits for the surrounding community."
• "The proposed concept is based upon a model that assumes easy disassembly and relocation with a typical site occupancy taking place over a roughly 5 year period."
• "Materials would be aggregated at the facility to be channeled to both new construction projects and to manufacturer take-back programs."

The Baltimore Wood Project 

(Part of Baltimore's Waste to Wealth Initiative)

• "Wood is salvaged from building deconstruction and urban tree care operations, and taken out of the city’s waste stream.
• Collected wood is diverted from space-limited landfills and other waste facilities.
• A local facility is dedicated to sorting and processing salvaged wood for its best use.
• The wood is repurposed and resold locally, creating a closed loop system. Reclaimed and upcycled wood products are available for sustainable building, furniture, energy, and other uses."

The Urban Wood Rescue Program

• "Partners with the City of Sacramento and private landowners to salvage logs from trees that need to be removed"
• "These logs are then milled into lumber for use in community projects like benches, fences, and playground equipment. The resulting lumber is also available for sale to artists and craftsmen for furniture and artwork"
• "Program offers custom milling services on a per log basis. It does not offer kiln drying services or log pick up services."

Facilitating the circulation of reclaimed building elements in Northwestern Europe (FCRBE)

"This project aims to increase by +50%, the amount of reclaimed building elements being circulated on its territory by 2032."

"The project sets up an international partnership involving specialised organisations, trade associations, research centres, an architecture school and public administrations. It is rooted in earlier initiatives that were successfully initiated, on a local level."
