The Leibniz-IWT is pleased about the funding of a new cooperation project in the field of circular economy in the construction industry. At a festive press conference in early July, our colleague Frank Hlawatsch received the 215,000 euro funding award for the cooperation project "Alliance Circular Economy Construction - Metropolitan Region Northwest".

The goal is a practical structure for a conscious, regionally active circular economy that includes all instances.
