In Finland’s largest circular construction project, the Vallila Circular Economy Block, we are redesigning an entire city block together with City of Helsinki by extensively utilising circular economy solutions. New life will be created in Vallila area: homes, services and jobs 💚 🌱 Everything that can be preserved from the existing block will be saved, or carefully dismantled and reused in new ways by taking components apart and recovering building materials intact. We have collaborated with the Helsinki Vocational College (Stadin AO), and students have been involved in practicing circular economy methods and interior dismantling work. The recovered materials are sold by Spolia Design Oy in the block’s own Circular Economy Corner store as well as in their online store: https://brnw.ch/21x3o6Q 🎥 Watch the video where Jari Jääskeläinen (YIT), Veli-Pekka Natunen (Stadin AO), and petri salmi (Spolia Design) share insights on this successful collaboration. In addition, Stadin AO student Mykola Chervonyj talks about what working in Vallila has taught him about the circular economy 👷💭 #circulareconomy #CircularEconomyBlock #Vallila Helsingin kaupunki – Helsingfors stad – City of Helsinki
