CIRCL challenges the status quo in construction
At CIRCL, we recognized a pressing issue of traditional construction methods. Determined to make a difference, we set out to revolutionise the industry by embracing sustainable practices and innovative techniques.
Our goal? To build houses that are energy-efficient and have as little impact on the environment as possible.
According to figures from the United Nations Environment Programme, the traditional building sector is responsible for:
40%
of global CO₂ emissions
36%
of all industrial waste
50%
of global energy consumption
