Durabilité: risque ou opportunité pour nos entreprises?
1. The document discusses the opportunities and challenges for the construction industry in transitioning to more sustainable practices. 2. It outlines the European Green Deal's goals to make Europe climate neutral by 2050, including increasing renovation rates for buildings and reducing construction waste. 3. Etex, an international building materials company, contributes to these goals through lightweight and modular construction solutions that reduce emissions and promote circularity. They support increasing recycling in the construction industry through partnerships along the value chain. 4. Authorities can further facilitate the transition by establishing a stable regulatory framework, recognizing voluntary sustainability approaches, and providing financing support and leadership through the public sector adopting sustainable practices.

- 11. Title 11 l 11October 2021 l Europe’s foremost flagship initiative The European Green Deal Launched in December 2019, the Green Deal is a political response at EU level to climate change, an issue on which the EU wants to take the lead at global level. The European Green Deal is a transformative agenda that combines policies to tackle climate change, reverse biodiversity loss, and eliminate pollution by moving to a circular economy. It is also Europe’s new growth strategy for the years to come that will serve as a political roadmap to make the EU’s economy climate neutral and circular while creating new jobs. It will help decouple economic growth from resource use while ensuring that no one is left behind. This is also called the “Just Transition”. The Green Deal is a to-do list of policy initiatives for the Commission to work on during its 2019-2024 legislature, aiming at aligning all EU relevant pieces of legislation, including in the area of buildings and construction, with the 2030 and 2050 climate targets.
- 12. Title 12 l 11October 2021 l CLIMATE ENERGY CIRCULAR ECONOMY The EU will be climate neutral in 2050 and reduce by at least 55% its greenhouse gas emissions in 2030 compared to 1990 levels. The European Climate Law has turned this political commitment into a legal obligation and a trigger for investment. The EU will decarbonize the energy sector as the production and use of energy account for more than 75% of the EU’s greenhouse gas emissions. The EU wants to reach 40% of renewable energy in 2030 and reduce primary and final energy consumption by respectively 39% and 36% by 2030. The EU aims to accelerate Europe’s transition towards a circular economy by helping "close the loop" of product lifecycles through greater recycling and re-use, and bought benefits for both the environment and the economy. Through the revised waste legislation, the EU wants to encourage reparability, upgradability, durability and recyclability of products as well as promote energy savings also in the construction sector.

- 15. Title 15 l 11October 2021 l Waste and recycling are also key levers How the construction industry will contribute to these objectives Sustainable building environment Circular design of buildings Ensure coherence across relevant policy areas such as climate, energy and resource efficiency, management of construction and demolition waste, accessibility, digitalization: • Recycled content requirements for certain construction products • Digital logbooks for buildings for increased transparency of supply chains • Carbon reduction targets and carbon storage • Material recovery targets set in EU legislation for construction and demolition waste The proposal is to support the reduction of waste, the optimization of material use, and the reduction of environmental impacts of designs and material choices throughout the life cycle: • Durability: building and elemental service life planning, encouraging a medium to long term focus on the design life of major building elements, as well as their associated maintenance and replacement cycles • Adaptability: to extend the service life of building by facilitating the continuation of the intended use or through possible future changes in use – with a focus on replacement and refurbishment • Reduce waste and facilitate waste management of the major building elements following deconstruction

Editor's Notes
- #5 Resource scarcity We are depleting our planet’s resources at an alarming rate. The construction industry is the number one global consumer of raw materials. More efficient use and recycling of raw materials must evolve towards cradle-to-cradle solutions. Industrial processes must be optimised to ensure lean production. Rapid urbanisation The urban population of the world has grown rapidly since 1950. It increased from 751 million to 4.2 billion in 2018, with 55% of the world’s population living in cities. By 2050 this will be 68%. People move to the cities to improve their ways of living. Affordable, quality housing is an essential part of this. Housing shortage Emerging and developed countries cannot build fast enough to keep up with demand. They turn towards dry construction, modular and prefabricated building solutions that are quick and easy to install and meet the surging demand at an affordable expense. Ageing infrastructures Ageing cities are strained by the higher population density and need upgrades. Re-use and top-up lightweight building solutions are much more ecologically sound than demolition. Energy-efficient, space-saving, sustainable and aesthetic materials are needed to assure that old buildings can cope with modern requirements. Technological disruption One example is Building Information Modelling (BIM), which facilitates collaboration throughout the building cycle from conception to demolition. Likewise, automation and robotics will speed up production and enhance quality assurance. We also need to build smart cities where solar energy is conserved via high-performance insulation materials. Changing regulations Another disruptive force is the growing complexity. Building projects have to comply with stricter regulation on construction, with constantly evolving standards and specifications. Building solution providers need to assist their partners in the value chain to efficiently deal with this complexity challenge. Productivity lag & skill gap While overall labour productivity increased by 153% over the last 50 years, building productivity dropped by 19%. In view of the huge need for affordable quality housing, the building industry urgently needs to shift gears. Moreover, the search for talent is also particularly fierce in a sector that needs to find skilled workers for a widening field of hi-tech jobs.
