Opening of the NEST Urban Mining & Recycling unit

A residential module fully constructed from reusable, recyclable, and compostable materials: This is the premise for the newest unit in NEST, the modular research and innovation building run by Empa and Eawag in Dübendorf. On 8 February 2018, the NEST Urban Mining & Recycling unit opened its doors and henceforth houses two students. At the same time, as an active lab it will also help to advance the construction industry’s transition to a recycling economy.
