Rotor Discusses Demolition Thresholds and Material Salvage Strategies
CIRCULAR ECONOMY & RECYCLING
Rotor advocates for minimal demolition to enhance material salvage, aiming to preserve about 80% of buildings for reuse. They acquire materials through direct dismantling, partnerships, and individual sales, emphasizing profitability through the resale value of salvaged components. Their Zinneke project in Brussels showcases these principles while addressing challenges in stakeholder coordination and the need for improved material testing methods to support the circular economy.
