Shaping the national ReUse solution for the Swiss construction industry
ReUse has enormous potential to transform the construction sector. However, it remains complex, costly and fragmented today.
The National ReUse Conference was created to change that. Its goal is to bring the right actors together to build a shared understanding, clear priorities and concrete next steps towards a national ReUse solution for Switzerland.
More than a conference
This is not about passive listening.
The ReUse Conference is highly interactive: in facilitated studio sessions, participants jointly develop, challenge and refine key principles and proposals for ReUse across the entire value chain.
By participating, you actively contribute to shaping how ReUse can scale in practice.
Who should take part — and why
The conference brings together pioneers and interested actors from across the construction ecosystem:
architects and planners, construction and demolition companies, material suppliers, ReUse platforms, insurers, investors, researchers, public authorities and policy-makers.
You should participate, if you want to:
help overcome today’s barriers to ReUse,
connect with partners across the value chain, and
be part of a coordinated national process rather than isolated pilot projects
