The SUM4Re project proposes a comprehensive approach to creating materials banks from the built environment by combining urban mining and technologies for automated on-site data acquisition and building materials identification and asset components.

The consortium, led by UVigo, is composed of 17 entities from the construction sector in Norway, the Netherlands, Spain, Germany, Belgium, France, Finland, Estonia and Switzerland.

SUM4Re’s results will be demonstrated in 3 different pilot sites linked to singular construction projects in Norway, The Netherlands and Spain, considering existing buildings with different uses or typologies and targeting different products & materials.
