The planning and construction of the Jätkäsaari Circular Economy Block as well as living there are based on the principles of circular economy and minimising carbon dioxide emissions. A long life cycle will be planned for the building, and the premises will be made adaptable so that they will serve the needs of users now and also in the future. The structures of the Circular Economy Block will be set up so that they can be easily separated and reused later on. The aim is to use in particular materials that are renewable, recycled or recyclable or less harmful to the environment, such as green concrete, in the construction. During the planning phase of the project, demolition sites will be identified and the possibilities of using building components such as bricks, doors, railings, glass walls, etc. will be explored. The circular economy elements used in the building will be left visible where possible. The property will also have smart technical building systems.
The circular economy will be taken into account during the use and maintenance phase in, for example, energy production, use and recovery, water consumption, housing and living, as well as transport. One additional objective is to enable the joint ownership, distribution and borrowing of goods through a sense of community.
