To achieve Sweden’s climate targets and the EU’s ambitions for a circular economy, the sector needs to reduce its reliance on newly produced materials and make greater use of the resources already available in our buildings. In this article, we explore reuse, the circular economy and the frameworks surrounding them.

Yesterday, BASTA Day took place, and we were delighted to see so many participants from the construction and civil engineering sector joining us!  A big thank you to everyone who attended and contributed with your engagement, knowledge and valuable perspectives.

Learning about the BASTA system has just become easier. BASTA is launching two new free e-learning courses that provide a flexible introduction to both the system and the audit process. The courses were developed by Cecilia Groth, Expert in Sustainable Building Materials, and are available in both Swedish and English.
