 ion!\n\nHow component reuse can unlock the circular potential of the const
 ruction industry\nPresented by Corentin Fivet I Professor - Structural Xpl
 oration Lab at EPFL\n\n\nThe construction sector is one of the largest con
 tributors to greenhouse gas emissions\, waste generation\, and ecosystem d
 estruction in the world. A currently underutilized strategy to mitigate th
 ese impacts is to reuse obsolete construction components in new projects. 
 This presentation will explore how this new circular approach has gained m
 omentum in recent years\, how component reuse poses new challenges for des
 igners\, and how current research aims to massify its application and the 
 environmental gains it can offer. The discussion will focus on the reuse o
 f cuttings from reinforced concrete buildings\, and on the optimal reuse o
 f load-bearing components in buildings and its life cycle assessment.\n\nD

 chez Vigier Ciments\nPrésenté par Olivier Barbery I Directeur Ciments ch
 ez Vigier SA et président du conseil d'administration chez VITO Recycling
  AG\n\n\nFace aux enjeux climatiques\, l’industrie du ciment Suisse a d
 éveloppé une feuille de route. Au travers d’exemples concrets\, Ciment
 s Vigier démontre qu’il est possible d’atteindre les buts ambitieux f
 ixés d’ici 2050 (neutralité carbone). L’industrie a cependant besoin
  d’un cadre politique clair et de partenariat renforcé avec d’autres 
 industries.\n\n\n\n\n
