What is the Reverse local construction supply chains for the beautiful re-assembly of reclaimed construction products Call?
Grant Description
This research and innovation action supports innovative approaches, methods, and techniques for the safe and sustainable re-assembly of reclaimed construction products to increase the aesthetic and cultural value of the built environment in line with the New European Bauhaus. It addresses the gap in re-assembly of construction products by developing digital tools and reverse supply chain models, validating new business opportunities, and demonstrating environmental, economic, social, and cultura...
Required Results for Successful Funding
Expected Outcomes
Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following outcomes:
• Development of innovative approaches, methods and techniques for safe, sustainable re-assembly of construction products that elevate the aesthetic and cultural value of the built environment in line with the New European Bauhaus.
• Measurable increase in the volume and frequency of re-assembly of reclaimed construction products at neighbourhood, local and regional scales.
• Generation of robust scientific evidence on social, cultural, economic and environmental impacts, including:
• Reduced resource consumption and procurement costs.
• Lower waste and litter generation, including microplastic pollution.
• Enhanced carbon storage potential (e.g. via CRCF certification tools).
• Identification and validation of new business opportunities, models, value chains and revenue streams supporting the beautiful re-assembly of reclaimed materials.
• Creation of participatory, transdisciplinary frameworks and partnerships that drive market uptake and scalability of circular re-assembly solutions.
• Contribution to policy and standard-setting through evidence and best practices that inform aesthetic and cultural standards in the built environment.

Funded areas
Scope Requirements
Proposals must address all of the following:
• Focus on the re-assembly stage of reclaimed construction products (including secondary elements such as insulation, cladding, decorative features).
• Align with New European Bauhaus values of sustainability, inclusion and beauty, enhancing well-being and cultural value of the built environment.
• Demonstrate knowledge of historical uses and characteristics, and ensure full traceability of product condition and displacement.
• Employ digital tools (e.g. Digital Product Passports) and reverse supply chain architectures to optimise management, movement and reuse of safe reclaimed materials.
• Apply the circular economy’s cascading principle for bio-based materials and the 10 R hierarchy for non-bio-based materials.
• Prioritise local reverse construction supply chains to maximise economic value, reduce energy use, procurement costs, waste and environmental footprint.
• Explore at least one innovative re-assembly approach, method or technique that increases embedded economic and environmental value and aesthetic standards in buildings or ensembles.
• Consider environmental footprints and availability of reclaimed materials at neighbourhood, local or regional levels.
• Build on existing circular construction product pooling networks, platforms, logistics hubs and informal reuse markets where possible.
• Validate how the solution creates new value, revenue streams and business opportunities, leveraging existing research on related business models.
• Adopt a participatory, transdisciplinary approach integrating diverse actors and disciplines.
• Allocate a minimum of 0.2% of the total budget to share results with the NEB hub (HORIZON-MISS-2024-NEB-01-03).
