Though merely whetting our appetites, this taster has confi rmed Denmark’s infl uential contribution to our continent’s cultural wealth. Happily, Denmark’s contribution to the European Union is far more extensive and will, undoubtedly, be in the spotlight throughout the fi rst half of 2012! A modern state, where European and international sea routes converge, Denmark has frequently drawn on its talents and fl ourishing economy to make its own, distinctive mark.

  • Reusing Old Bricks in North Jutland
    From demolition waste to circular construction through partnerships – Reusing old bricks in North Jutland Master’s Thesis – Alessia Santoro Cities and Sustainability (CiSu) Aalborg University https://www.building-supply.dk/article/view/394608/ny_byskole_er_bygget_af_gamle_mursten Preface The present report has been conducted by a student enrolled in the Cities and Sustainability Master’s Program at Aalborg University in Aalborg, Denmark. The author has a study background on construction obtained back in her country, Italy. The report is illustrated in relation to the circular economy system and focuses on the reuse of bricks in Denmark and follows the PBL (Problem Based Learning) approach that is promoted by the university. In this regard, it uses as a study case North Jutland after providing a national analysis of three main concepts i.e. construction waste and management, waste hierarchy and circular economy as well as their connection. Additionally, is used an already redacted LCA to sustain the theories used. Acknowledgments I would like to thank my supervisors Henrik Riisgaard for his support and guidance throughout the process of conducting this report. I believe that without his help the outcome of the present report would have not been appropriate. Additionally, I would like to thank my interviewees: Svend Roed Larse, Claus Juul Nielsen and Kurt Brandi for making the time to talk with me and help me with gathering the relevant information for to reach the outcome of the present report. I would love to dedicate the effort dedicated to write this thesis to my Mom, that I am sure, would be proud of me by seeing me reaching this final stage.
