Laboratory for Circular
Architecture and Design

Product development

Zabek.ME helps manufacturers and construction professionals navigate the complexities of circular construction to meet environmental goals and regulatory requirements like the EU waste directive. Services focus on integrating circularity into the early design phases by providing:

  • Material Flow Analysis: Clear and actionable insights into material streams to ensure alignment with recycling and reuse targets.
  • Key Performance Indicators (KPIs): Reliable and practical KPIs for assessing circularity, aiding in decision-making for product selection, design, and construction planning.
  • Validation Frameworks: Tools to evaluate building products based on material inputs and their potential for future reuse as secondary materials.
  • Strategic Recommendations: Expert guidance to improve material stream efficiency and implement circular solutions effectively, aligning with EU Green Taxonomy objectives.

The goal is to empower the industry with the data and strategies needed to design buildings and products that are not only compliant but also forward-thinking, contributing to a truly circular built environment.
