Overview

The upcoming sales tender for the grounds of the old town hall will include conditions on how the demolition will take place, to encourage selective demolition and the circular reuse of materials. The aim is to impose a criterion that as much building material as possible should be reused and as much soil as possible should be kept on-site. 

Implementation

• The municipality will be in close dialogue with the demolition company and the developers, as well as other potential buyers of the materials from the demolition
• Recoverable materials will be incorporated into new buildings or crushed on-site and used as filler, or in other building projects
• Soil will be either prevented from being dug up or reused on site

Overview

A new town hall will be built using recycled concrete in the building foundation and other components. The concrete comes from demolition of eight apartment blocks at Taastrupgård (Demo action 3) owned by KAB, a social housing company. 

Implementation

• Excess soil from the construction of the town hall will be used in Taastrupgård
• Not possible to use excess sool on-site as there is no space for storing the soil.

Overview

Eight apartment blocks owned by social housing company, KAB, were demolished in 2020, with the separate collection of recoverable concrete. KAB agreed to allow the municipality to have some of the concrete, and the demolition company Søndergaard agreed to deliver the concrete from the demolition to other projects. 

Implementation

• The demolition resulted in 10,000 tonnes of concrete for recycling, which then underwent quality testing, crushing and storing
• 2,000 tonnes will go into making the foundation and other components of the future city hall 
• The other 8,000 tonnes will go into other projects such as the nearby neighborhood development area Høje-Taastrup C 
• The approach may potentially be replicated in similar apartment blocks owned by another social housing company in the Gadehavegård district

Relevant tools

• Pre-demolition screening & selective demolition procedure

Overview

The concrete factory IBF will develop and produce a tile from 30% recycled concrete from excess concrete in their own production. It is locally produced in Hedehusene. Høje Taastrup will look for possible test areas to try out the tiles in an area where the sidewalk is renovated (approximately 100m sidewalk). 

Implementation

• The sidewalk tile will be evaluated after the first winter and again after five years. 
• Based on the first evaluation the municipality will decide whether it will use these tiles in other areas, and eventually in all of Høje-Taastrup

Overview

The focus of this action is on creating circular soil management at city level in order to keep excavation of soil to a minimum and use excess soil locally, instead of driving it farther away. 

Implementation

• A number of CityLoops tools and methodologies will be tested, including the circular soil framework

Relevant tools

• Framework for circular soil
• Instrument for predicting future excavated soil
• Tool for assessing soil reuse potential
• Methodology for assessment of projects fit for soil reuse
