rebuilding ukraine through circular construction

The war in Ukraine has generated vast amounts of construction and demolition waste.

This project turns these materials into new construction products, supporting a more sustainable and resource-efficient approach to rebuilding while reducing waste and the demand for virgin resources.

The initiative brings together international and local expertise:

  • NETICS contributes expertise in material innovation and circular construction

  • Eco+Logic focuses on collecting, sorting, and processing construction waste in Ukraine

  • ReThink provides local knowledge, stakeholder engagement, and implementation support.

Together, the partners are demonstrating how materials from destruction can become resources for recovery, creating durable and sustainable solutions for Ukraine's reconstruction.

NETICS

NETICS is a leading innovative research and consultancy firm in civil engineering and is internationally recognized as an expert in the reuse of dredged materials and construction using dredged sediment.

NETICS has the knowledge and expertise to stabilize this dredged material into construction materials. This makes it possible to build innovative civil engineering structures such as flood defenses, breakwaters, dams, shorelines, dikes, and islands.

Eco + logic

ECO+LOGIC specializes in efficiently sorting construction, oversized, and household waste, contributing to environmental preservation and facilitating their secondary use.

Their experience and responsible approach help create a clean and green future for the city, Kyiv, and Ukraine.

Rethink

Since 2017, ReThink has been a leading voice in promoting circular economy principles in Ukraine. Through advocacy campaigns, educational forums, seminars, and events, we've cultivated a network of committed individuals driving Ukraine's transition to a circular economy.

In 2019, recognizing cities' critical role in climate change and defining the quality of life, ReThink shifted its focus to promoting circularity in the built environment. This focus on green, liveable cities became even more solid after the full-scale russian invasion on February 24th, 2022.

Today, ReThink is fully committed to leveraging our expertise and the most advanced global practices, in the circular reconstruction of Ukraine. We support Ukrainian cities, municipalities, and businesses adopting systemic and advanced circular strategies for a greener, more resilient Ukraine.
