ReConstruct: Sustainable structural insultation panels from recycled clothing textiles and seaweed for the construction industry

ReConstruct aims to develop alternative, more sustainable, structural insulation panels, to replace current wood and polystyrene sandwich solutions that are widely used in the construction industry. ReConstruct envisions the development of versatile product for use as exterior walls in prefabricated homes with increased thermal insulation and as interior partitions with emphasis in higher acoustic absorption efficiency.

The proposed solutions align with the thematic priority sector of Green Transition and Energy Efficiency as they make use of recycled waste materials, with a particular direction towards the construction industry where Cyprus has been thriving over the recent years.
