Uniting architecture and structural design, the Structural Xploration Lab is paving the way for the upcycling reuse of load-bearing components in buildings, hence contributing to the adoption of a circular economy by the construction industry. In particular, it has developed algorithms to optimize the assignment of reused members in new structures and demonstrated the potential of key waste for new load-bearing applications. The lab also holds a patent for a highly-versatile slab-and-column systems for circular buildings with high transformation rates.

Neustark provides negative emission solutions, including the construction and implementation of the mineralization plants (core technology) at concrete recyclers. The mineralization plant sequesters permanently biogenic CO2 in crushed demolition concrete. Besides installing the mineralization plant, neustark runs the whole value chain from CO2 liquefaction to transport of CO2 as well as monitoring the climate impact of the process.
 

With Timber Structures 3.0 technology, timber components made of solid, glulam or cross-laminated timber can be joined at the end faces. This makes it possible to create point-supported, multi-axis load-bearing panels or folded structures of any shape and size. This opens up constructive and design worlds that were previously inaccessible to timber construction.

The Canadian Wood Council represents the Canadian wood products industry as a national federation of associations. Its mission is to expand market access and increase demand for Canadian wood products through excellence in codes, standards, regulations and education.
The CWC provides technical and knowledge transfer services relating to building codes, standards and regulations and has in-house expertise to address several of the main considerations for wood design and construction including fire safety.
