On October 8, partners from NETICS, ReThink and Eco+Logic hosted a hybrid event, bringing participants together online and in Kyiv to present the progress of ReUpress and its potential contribution to Ukraine’s reconstruction.
The event showcased how concrete rubble from destroyed buildings can be transformed into new construction blocks. The partners shared insights into the production process, current developments and potential applications of the technology, followed by an engaging discussion with participants.
The project is now progressing towards practical demonstration, with pilot production trials underway in the Kyiv region. A small demonstration building is planned to showcase how ReUpress blocks can be applied in practice. In parallel, testing and optimisation continue to further develop the blocks and assess their performance.
Through collaboration between Dutch and Ukrainian partners, ReUpress aims to turn locally available demolition waste into useful construction materials, supporting a more circular approach to reconstruction in Ukraine.
