Project

ventilated prefabricated wall panel utilising recycled CDW and mineral wool produced using innovative and sustainable Ecose® technology for reduction of primary energy consumption in building stock.

Encourage the re-use and recycling of construction and demolition waste (CDW) in order to shift CDW management from disposal to recycling and reduce utilization of natural resources thus preventing landscape degradation
Promote the substitution of conventional thermal insulation materials by mineral wool produced using innovative and sustainable technology, leading to a reduced environmental impact
Promote implementation of prefabricated, energy efficient products in order to enable reduction of primary energy consumption in residential and commercial buildings
Reduce embodied energy, embodied carbon and production of by-product wastes
Ability to recycle ECO-SANDWICH® panel at the end of its life
Modernise the production line making it capable of producing the ECO-SANDWICH® as well as to develop marketing strategy for the introduction of a new, eco-innovative product
Development of a marketing strategy for the introduction of an innovative, environmentally friendly and sustainable product
Set up a mechanism to exploit across Europe

Project ECO-SANDWICH® was supported by 16 relevant institutions in Croatia, including two relevant Ministries (Republic of Croatia, Ministry of Environment and Nature Protection and Republic of Croatia, Ministry of Construction and Physical Planning), city of Koprivnica and city of Samobor, associations of relevant stakeholders, international energy agencies (ABEA, SOFENA), University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Architecture, the Regional Environmental Center in Romania and in Croatia.

Project funded by the European Commission within the framework of CIP-EIP-Eco-Innovation 2011 Programme.
