The aim is to integrate the concept of circular economy in the development of the eco-district from inception. Eiffage planned actions throughout the various phases of the eco-district works, from site clearance, through the demolition phase, and up to the construction phases.

1. Eiffage Aménagement will schedule early on the selective deconstruction of buildings to improve the recovery of deposited materials and products. The association Réavie will oversee the deconstruction and recovery of materials and products which are grouped together on an experimental reuse platform: the “Solid’R” platform. The latter will allow materials and products to be grouped together, refurbished and sold if they are not reused on site.

2. The project aims to reuse 100% of the demolition material and rubble on site via a crushing operation that will produce recycled aggregates. The new buildings will therefore be constructed using recycled concrete and incorporate other less carbon-intensive materials (notably novel concretes). These actions aim to enhance the valuation of local resources while taking a global approach to reducing carbon emissions. Eiffage ambitions to achieve the E3C1 grade of the Carbon-Energy Label for the whole eco-district.
