Sand appears abundant but is facing global shortages, driven mainly by construction and concrete. The RECONMATIC project helps address this by improving demolition waste quality through automated sorting, enabling recycled aggregates to replace part of natural sand. To scale adoption, the industry needs clearer standards, transparent regulation, and a stronger circular economy.

The forum was organized by the China Building Materials Federation and drew nearly 300 government officials, experts, and business representatives from countries including China, the UK, Germany, Canada, Japan and France. Attendees shared insights on advanced carbon reduction strategies, technical pathways, and practical achievements, and had the opportunity to visit China’s carbon capture demonstration projects.

While many stakeholders in the construction industry agree on the importance of moving toward a Circular Economy, the tools needed to track, manage, and reuse construction materials throughout a project’s life cycle remain fragmented or underdeveloped. That’s where our Digital Information Management System (DIMS) comes in.

Exploring highlights from Futurebuild 2025—RECONMATIC, low-carbon materials from China, and the future of sustainable construction.
