– Definition of key criteria for re-manufacturing: criteria for the design of components “to be re-manufactured”; interpretative keys to understand the remanufacturing attitude of a component to be disassembled and re-manufactured;
obstacles/barriers (e.g., legislative) and levers (e.g., guarantee conditions, certified
environmental value, economic value);
– Definition, through a multi-sectorial analysis, of: organizational conditions; criteria for the start of re-manufacturing processes; levers for the launch of successful
re-manufacturing processes from an economic and environmental point of view;
economic, environmental, and social benefits to be used as levers for the start-up
of re-manufacturing processes.
– Definition of rules to support the re-manufacturing processes: relationship rules
(organizational, procedural, etc.); assembly, disassembly, and processing procedures in relation to various technical elements (interior walls, finishes, floors, ceilings, external skin, windows frames); quality procedures, standards, and methods
for defining the characteristics of components easy to be re-manufactured; methods
for exchanging materials and products; methods for sharing information and communication protocols; procedures of application of LC-based indicators aiming at
identifying the environmentally and economically more effective strategies to be
adopted in re-manufacturing processes (e.g. definition of the maximum advantageous physical distance between disassembly site and remanufacturer).
For what concerns the impacts of the project—able to meet the strategies characterizing the circular economy approach—it is possible to mention:
• Economic impacts
– Extending the economic value of building components over time
– Increasing the opportunity to access to incentive or participate in public tendering in the construction sector
– Improving competitiveness through environmental certification schemes (Green
Building Rating Systems)
• Environmental impacts
– Product life optimization (use extension and intensification)
– Reduction of environmental flows and impacts related to the extension of the
service life of building components
– Reduction of downcycling and promotion of revalorisation
– Minimization of the materials toxicity through dry assembly
– Environmental value of embodied impacts (embodied energy, embodied carbon,
and others)
• Social impacts
– Identification of possible new markets of “regenerated products” (e.g., social
housing)
