Recognising the need for a more circular construction sector, the Horizon 2020 e-SAFE project is trying to change the way we approach building retrofitting, enhancing the overall longevity of existing structures.
is a support hub for materials research and characterization;
offers coordinated access to more than 50 European analytical research facilities and provides comprehensive research services focusing on new circular materials;
provides scientists working on new recyclable materials with analytical tools enabling them to explore the properties and structure of their material up to atomic resolution.
Its service catalogue is complemented by an extensive training programme, enabling the user community to make the best possible use of its state-of-the-art facilities.
The project leverages the development of innovative, sustainable materials for key components across the economy.
The uptake of green and digital technologies will massively increase demand for critical raw materials (CRMs). Since CRM supply chains are heavily concentrated, this exposes the EU to significant CRM supply risks. Several policy options emerge for the EU to address these risks. Domestically, there is potential to produce primary and secondary CRMs, yet significant time and resources will be required to scale up production.
Material substitution and resource efficiency might also play non-negligible roles with enough R&I support. Internationally, both trade policy and international cooperation (including within multilateral fora) hold significant prospects for mitigating supply risks. If properly managed, stockpiling CRMs can also help shield against short-term supply or price shock.
