- Circular information-only flow
- 0-7 = — Linear Building
- 8 = Repurposing and reuse of existing
- 9 = Deconstruct, reclaim, MP, reuse, reassemble
- 0-9 = Ο Circular Building
- Specification Development RIBA Plan Of Work 2013 (CPD) G#1339 N#1326
- 2019 an update is due that might address circular economy
RIBA Education Committee
- Out of touch with Climate Emergency
- Universities not leading the way
- Few unite behind the science
- Very few being taught science
- Aspiration: Architectural Association
- Philosophical BS
- Fantasy Graphics
- Never engage with reality
- let alone solve the problems
Post-Declare Initiatives
- Aecom
- Planning a material exchange database
- But some already exist
- What will be different?
- Material Exchange 4 Specification (CPD) G#308 N#309
- Material Exchange (Navigation) G#912 N#932
Product Passports? Materials Passports?
- Wrong name?
- ‘Products’ in first life
- With a Specification or Certificate and Delivery Ticket
- Materials Passport?
- ‘Materials’ or ‘Resources’ in second life
- With a Material Passport and a Delivery Ticket
- Avoiding a Waste Transfer Note
- Unless EPR applies
Extended Producer Responsibilities (EPR)
- Loan or leasing of products or materials
- Never owned, just borrowed for a while
- Electric Vehicle (EV) batteries
- More and more cars and therefore EVs
- Eventually building parts too
- Or houses built like caravans: Craig White
- Remanufactured by original manufacturer or a dedicated specialist
- Returned for recycling
Purpose of Materials Passports (MPs)
- Help improve EU wide Resource Efficiency
- To help reduce excessive waste in Construction Sector
- Divert materials from Landfill
- To facilitate reuse of materials in Construction
- Provide a level of confidence that products are fit for purpose in 2nd use
- Of merchantable quality: may/not be relaxed
- Frost damaged roof tiles more valuable that pristine
- Provide guidance on their properties and application
- Provide a great deal of information about original materials
- Probably more than the OEM or OPM ever did
- Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)
- Original Product Manufacturer (OPM)
- Probably more than the OEM or OPM ever did
Goals & Benefits of MPs
- About:
- Circular materials, components and building products (CM,C&BP)
- which might also be healthy, environmental (HE)
- Keep or increase residual value of CM,C&BP over time
- Create incentives for manufacturers, processors, suppliers to offer HE CM,C&BP
- Enable circular product design, materials recovery (MR) and chain of possession (CoP) partnerships (CoPP)
- Support materials choices in reversible building design projects
- Reduce eco-footprints
- Make it easier for developers, facility manager, and renovators to choose HE CM,C&BP
- Facilitate reversed logistics of reclaim CM,C&BP
- Assessment of future materials flows
- Management of supply and demand
- Assessment and forecast of potential secondary raw materials
- Systematic recovery and utilisation strategies can be identified and further developed
- Strategic positioning of plants (e.g. recycling, materials traders, material exchanges, etc.)
- Strategic supply chain management
- Link and make relevant data available for assessment on various hierarchy levels
- Reduce the cost by managing resources rather than managing waste
- Develop a sustainable life cycle management of CM,C&BP and buildings
- Eliminate waste and reduce the use of virgin resources
- Improve the quality, value and security of materials supply
- Provide a tool to move from linear system to a circular system
- (BAMB, MH & WL, ‘19)(GBE BRM ‘19)
Other benefits of MP on Circular Economy
- Helps convert from Linear Economy
- Via a Segregating for Recycling Economy
- To a Reclaiming for Circular Economy
- Where we value stuff (e.g. natural materials)
- Where we waste nothing
- Were nothing ends up in landfill
- Everything is upgraded, repaired, refurbished,
- to extend its first life and subsequent lives
- Everything is remanufactured and returned to use
- or repurposed for other uses
Material Passport contains:
- Physical Properties
- Chemical Properties
- Biological properties
- Material Health
- Unique Products & System Permutation Identification
- Design and production
- Transportation and Logistics
- Construction: Identify materials and Product locations in buildings and in elements
- Use and Operate Phase maintenance information
- Disassembly and Reversibility
- Reuse and Recycling
GBE Product Data Collection
- 1250 data points
- say 600 collected for any manufacturer and product
- 35 Document outputs
- E.g. Specification, Method statement,
- Including Reclaim Product Material Passport
BIM PDT Templates v Flexibility v external data
- Templates developed by BSRIA CPA and Sector Stakeholders
- Stakeholders include Manufacturer Associations that want ‘dumb PDT’
- LCD Lowest Common Denominator
- For level playing field
- Least information necessary
- BIM PDT Product Data Templates
- Do not make a Robust Specification
- Might just make an NBS Specification
- Prone to Substitution
- Not fit for purpose
- Cells need to link to external data: e.g. Specification or LCA
- Manufacturers want to promote
- Unique Selling Point (USP)
- Or multi-functional properties
- Multi-application materials
- These help to make Robust Specifications and defend against substitution
Provenance
- Comes from antiques world
- Where from, who made it, when, whom owned it,
- Applies to Architectural Salvage
- Audit trails back to source
- Theft Alerts Helps avoid Theft or retrieve stolen goods
- Materials Stewardship for reclaim
- Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) for sustainable new timber
- Chain of Custody (CoC) for sustainable new timber
- EU timber regulation (EUTR), for legal new timber
- Chain of custody (Chain of Possession in BAMB)
- Linear: from source to supplier/processor/site
- Circular: from first life to next use
- Can mean a clean bill of health or warn of limitations
- Avoiding Carbonated concrete or Alkali Aggregate Reaction “Concrete cancer” joining and contaminating Recycled Concrete Aggregate and spoiling recipe
Blockchain technology
- (minus the BitCoins)
- Any individual or multiple transaction up/down the demand/supply chain
- Robust data that is not possible to alter
- Visible to all parties at any time
- All data in place permanently
- Can be added to as supply chain extends
- Audit trails without long searches first
Digital Object Identifiers (DOI)
- Ex Pharmaceuticals Sector
- Big Data, Open Data,
- Better Information Management (BIM)
- Product Data Templates (PDTs)
- Product Data Sheets (PDS)
- Individual cells cannot hold many data sets so each cell can become search engines or hyperlink to other sources
- Or DOI link to correct information sources
- Act a bit like SEO 301 Redirects
- DOI Tracking and linking to on-line data:
- That might move within a website to a new URL
- But should remain current
- Audit trails to numerous end addresses
- as stuff subdivides into variations of the original
- as stuff divides and disperses to different end uses
Industry Sector Response to Material Passports
- Manufacturer Association (UK) Federations (EU)
- Looking after Business as Usual
- Rejected Reclaim Product Materials Passports
- In case they erode profits from sales of new goods
- Its already happened with the remanufactured carpet sector
- Just like the oil and plastic sector threatening
- The plastics recyclers
- Ocean plastics collectors
Design Profession Response to Material Passports
- Silence?
- Didn’t event know it was being discussed?
- Architectural education wrong focus:
- Philosophical BS
- Fantasy Architecture
- College Knowledge
- Out of date
- Learning Curve followed by Forgetting Curve
- Few opportunities to apply knowledge, so forget
Material Passport: SWOT
- Strengths:
- More data to allow Appropriate and Competent Reuse
- Weaknesses:
- Reused aesthetic still a turn off for some
- Reuse structural competency in doubt
- Data stored in MPs needs to be kept up to date
- Dead data in Excel files not maintained:
- blocked the development from 3D CAD to BIM
- Opportunities:
- Enable others to engage
- 900 timber visual inspectors in sector
- Some Structural Engineers will visual inspect steels
- Steel looses shape in fire before loosing strength
- Threats:
- Manufacturers do not want to reduce sales of new
Material Passports: Features & Benefits
- Features Benefits
- Product/Material Properties Reapplication Confidence
- Application properties Competent Reapplication
- Manufacturer’s Reputation enhanced Satisfied Users
