The construction and property sector produce large emissions of greenhouse gases. Therefore, Sweden has set the environmental target that at least 70% of construction and demolition waste should be recycled, or prepared for reuse, by 2025. Instead of, for example, demolishing an old industrial building and building a new residential building next door, the existing industrial building is converted into a residential building. And if you âbuild newâ, you also should use old building parts, provided that they are mechanically durable and free from moisture problems.
However, such âcircular constructionâ means that chemical and biological pollutants risk spreading â being emitted â from the recycled materials into the indoor air. Here, cTrap offers a solution where one covers the interior construction materials with the cTrap cloth, which effectively captures any emissions. cTrap thus enables circular construction while maintaining good indoor air quality.
