“Between Tradition and Transition: From Yesterday’s Common Sense to Today’s Challenges”
Through this new edition of the Regional Meetings on Reuse and Recycling, you are invited to revisit the evolution of practices in the construction sector. From the age-old wisdom of builders—who knew how to extend the life of materials—to the complex realities of a sector in transition, this day will be an opportunity to collectively explore circular logic, bridging heritage, innovation, and contemporary constraints.
Reuse, circular economy, territorial cooperation, feedback, technical innovations, regulatory levers: a day to take stock, draw inspiration, debate, and make concrete progress in the Hauts-de-France region.
Building professionals, public stakeholders, project owners, construction companies, social and solidarity economy organizations, industrial players, and design offices—this day is for you!
