Today, sustainability frequently takes center stage and is often a key agenda item for many. This is also the case in (interior) construction, where circular building has evolved from an ambition to an absolute necessity. This applies not only to new constructions but also to redesigns and renovations.
The Dutch goal of becoming fully circular by 2050, with an interim milestone of 50% by 2030, underscores the urgency and importance of this transition. Maars Living Walls plays a crucial role in this process by offering innovative and modular solutions that perfectly align with the principles of circularity.
From a Linear to a Circular Economy
To reduce our global ecological footprint, efforts are being made to transition from a linear economy to a circular economy. This means that existing products are used and reused for as long as possible to extend their life cycle.
By doing so, we not only reduce our ecological footprint, but we also become less dependent on raw materials. Additionally, this saves costs and reduces lead times to a minimum.
What is Circular Building?
Circular building is about closing material loops, similar to a natural ecosystem where there is no waste. This means that all residual streams are reused for new products. The goal is to extend the life cycle of materials, minimize waste, and promote reuse and recycling. The focus is on sustainable and environmentally friendly materials, as well as designs that enable dismantling and reuse without loss of value.
Modularity as a Core Principle at Maars Living Walls
At Maars, modularity is central. Our system walls are designed to be fully reusable and produce as little waste as possible. This offers optimal flexibility because our walls can be easily adapted or relocated without material loss. Our modular solutions are not only sustainable but also cost-efficient and quick to implement, contributing to a future-proof interior.
Sustainable Design and Long Lifespan
Our system walls are created with reuse and sustainability in mind. This means they can be easily dismantled and reused without loss of quality. This aligns with the principles of circular building and supports the Netherlands’ goals to be fully circular by 2050. Additionally, many of our walls are Cradle to Cradle certified, underscoring their environmental friendliness and sustainability.
Practical Applications and Benefits
The flexibility of modular walls makes it possible to quickly and efficiently adapt spaces to changing needs. This is ideal for companies that want to respond to the rise of hybrid working and other dynamic work environments. The system walls can be easily reused after reconfiguration or relocation, making them not only sustainable but also economically advantageous by saving costs in the long term.
The Future of Circular Building
Circular building is not a trend but a necessary step towards a more sustainable future. Maars Living Walls is committed to supporting this transition by offering innovative, modular solutions that contribute to closing loops and minimizing waste. Together, we can build a future where sustainability and circularity are the norm, not the exception.
