Future building materials
TNO has extensive knowledge of the environmental effects of building materials. We are working on increasing the circularity of building materials with a focus on making concrete more sustainable as well as developing circular innovations for brick, gypsum and wood. Examples of such innovations are the development of cold-baked bricks and the reuse of wooden doors.

Jeroen Kruithof
Functie:Senior consultantLet’s discuss the development and application of Circular Stonelike Materials. By this, I mean:
- Lifetime extension of existing structures / buildings, so they do not have to be demolished.
- Reuse of elements or granulates in new applications.
- Development and validation of alternative binders for concrete, for example, with lower emissions and less primary material use.
