RecycLab – a recycling, reusing and eco-building platform

This unit aims to:

  • Recycle and reuse objects and waste at the source by inventing new uses, as well as using recycled objects as raw material for green building projects,
  • Achieve environmental improvements through eco-construction techniques (locally recycled materials, renewable energy, etc.) to develop a social, sustainable economy in Colombes.
  • Initiate the spread of new urban, eco-friendly, practices such as reducing, repairing and reusing waste through educational activities and workshops.
  • Reduce energy consumption for building operations on the entire project.

The unit consists of a series of elements:

  • space for collecting and depositing
