On 10 June 2026, partners Drastic's French Demonstrator came together to share insights and practical experiences on the reuse of removable partitions and ceiling tiles within renovation projects.

On 6 May 2026, the Drastic Project participated in the Circular Construction & Materials Innovation session at the EU Sustainable Construction event in Brussels, Belgium. The discussion brought together policymakers, industry representatives, researchers and investors to explore the market conditions, policy frameworks and assessment approaches needed to support circular construction at scale across Europe.

Drastic’s Spanish Demonstrator continues its mission to advance circular solutions for the construction sector, with a full-day event hosted at the North Campus of the School of Civil Engineering (UPC) in Barcelona, Spain on April 24.

The Drastic project is excited to announce the latest phase of activity from its French Demonstrator: a re-used ceiling tiles installation in Aubervilliers, Seine-Saint-Denis, France.

On 5 March 2026, Carolin Spirinckx, Project Manager at Drastic’s coordinating partner VITO, represented the Drastic Project as part of a workshop on sustainable & energy-efficient building materials in Naples, Italy at the Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche.

Drastic’s Estonian Demonstrator has reached a significant technical milestone with the successful completion of the full assembly and disassembly cycle of prefabricated timber-framed insulation panels developed for building renovation in Estonia.

The Drastic project has launched its first webinar in a new series exploring circularity in the built environment. Taking place on 11 March 2026, the session will examine how global policy, national strategies and project-level innovation can work together to accelerate implementation.

This paper evaluates the use of X-ray computed tomography (CT) scanning and computational mechanics to assess the quality of reclaimed timber elements.

It’s been some time since we last heard from Drastic’s French contingent, but fear not, this Demonstrator has been busy working away behind the scenes with some exciting updates to be shared in the coming months! 

Sorigué explored how R&D&I can support the circular economy in construction at Smart City Expo World Congress 2025.

Drastic’s Spanish Demonstrator has been hard at work in recent months, using its first phase of development to test both steel and concrete products aimed at increasing circularity and reducing carbon emissions across the European built environment.
