Content
Focusing on the resources that have been used in the Äerdschëff, we discover together what circular economy (économie circulaire) is and which resources are under particular pressure to move to a more sustainable and circular use. We analyse the current status of the circular economy in Luxembourg, examine different building materials for their ecological impact and offer a guided design activity where students can design a circular economy product themselves.
