Granulakor: towards a circular economy
eurakor has been selected by the Walloon Region as part of the "Waste-Resources 2021-2022" call for projects.
eurakor has chosen to invest in a more sustainable mode of production to support the transition to a circular economy.
The aim of our project, Granulakor, is to facilitate the recycling of excavated soil (from the demolition of buildings and roads) through collective intelligence with the links in a value chain that have never been connected before and that together hold the keys to an attractive value proposition for local entrepreneurs.
Granulakor, in a few words:
- A range of products for small local contractors, made from demolition waste.
- A model of strengthened cooperation to provide good practices, expertise and shared responsibility for the administrative and legal aspects to small recyclers in order to develop a range of quality products based on recycled aggregates from processing chain for soil excavated during roadworks
- A replicable pilot for a local premium recycled product chain
Products created from recycled aggregates may be beneficial for :
- Fence installers,
- Garden contractors,
- Small construction companies,
- Municipalities,
- Small public procurement companies,
- And many others
Granulakor's mission is to contribute to Wallonia's great ambition to reduce waste, in particular by ensuring that things that are still considered as binnable waste become resources and are reused.
Granulakor is currently under development and will be fully effective by 2024.
