L’économie circulaire dans le BTP | Késia Vasconcelos | TEDxESTPParis


[Applause]
Hello everyone I am keziah
vasconcelos and I’m delighted to be here
to exchange with you about the movement
perpetual
after completing studies
of engineer in btp and a master
entrepreneurs I decided to create my
company with my partner him if the
we gave ourselves for mission
to save our planet by reducing the
global production of our waste
when I hear perpetual motion
I think about the words ribbons bus this ribbon
which has the particularity of having only one
single face only one side an insect
little go through it to infinity and this
concept is at the origin of the logo
universal recycling scheme which aims to
transforming our waste into resources
helpful in talking about waste do you know
which is the biggest producers of
waste in France the btp exactly with
247 million tonnes of waste
are generated each year this
represent
it’s the equivalent of 25 thousand turn
eiffel and nationally these two
third of production for the second
its 10 million tons of
waste that is generated each year
by the building
it’s huge and that’s why the
new energy transition law
on green growth requires that 70%
of these wastes are recovered from here
2020 not upgraded we mean recycled
or reuse nice challenge since
today we only reach 35%
another question
do you know what happened on August 2nd
2010 is the overshoot day this is the
date we consumed
all the resources that the earth can
produce in one year in other words
we live on credit if humanity
lived like a Frenchman he would have to
three planets 5 for an american
and on a global scale this represents
a little more than a planet and a half I
continues to set the stage 30 billion
tons of sand that are consumed
for the manufacture of concrete
kilometers of beaches disappear
every year the sand and the second
most consumed natural resource
after the water then the question we get
pose is how to make the
infinite growth on a greenhouse
limited resources
the answer comes in two words economy
circular circular economy that
aims to change paradigm compared
to the so-called linear economy by limiting
the waste of our resources and
environmental impact
it’s changing the way we consume
the circular economy is based on
ruler of 3 r reduce reuse and
recycle and although this concept was
invented in the 70’s defined
in the 70’s there is since the
night time
in the 2nd century BC
found the first forms of paper
recycled in China
made from resources
natural corsican mulberry
fishing nets and this paper could
be reused up to seven times before
to introduce a fiber 9 the economy
circular is anchored in humanity and
the automobile understood this well since
95% of the cars of the density
cars are valued at the end of
life recycle or re-use and the
garages are obliged to offer
a piece of reuse
for all purposes of cars and reuse
in the
tp it is an ancestral practice from
antiquity the Aurelian walls to
Rome are made from bricks
recovery in the middle ages the
saint john cathedral in the
basements are made from
marble blocks of an old
Roman constructions the second war
warsaw world is destroyed at 85 % and
the concretes will be reused for
new constructions and under
road layer today is that
would be reuse on a jobsite that
among you has already worked on a
jobsite with reuse so imagine
here is Julien ‘s work leader on
a heavy rehabilitation project and
every day they throw tons and
tons of materials and throw all
these materials cost him dearly
so on one side one to julien driver
work on a construction site
rehabilitation and on the other side one to
andré craftsmen home builders
individual and every day he spends a
crazy time to find the most material
economic and ecological possible and they
are many to have the same
problems and if the julien materials
from deconstruction could be used to
the construction of andré and the benefits
are many
First, it helps to build sustainable
and reduce the production of waste
but there are also benefits
economic for example take the example
of 500 m² of polystyrene intended to be
thrown into the air and using that allows
save the cost of the leads the
transport the treatment and generate a
additional income by the sale side
buyers is of course reducing the
carbon balance is to increase the field
construction possibilities
architectural is to build
otherwise with less and it’s saving
the cost of materials using the
matter says secondary first so if
it’s so simple why we
do not achieve the objectives set by
the energy transition law and well
fees
raised by the ademe are the following
the first is the insurance sector
btp is a highly regulated sector
it’s building with materials
second hand which bears the responsibility
it’s the cost question is it
build with materials from
reuse and competitive compared to
new materials incorporating the costs
hidden
and then the logistics the issues of
deconstruction storage is precisely
many actors find
solutions to lift these brakes
this is the case in belgium where they have
developed a new know-how for
to go from a demolition to a
selective deconstruction and belgium
has a network of resources that allows
so to store these materials and that’s
on a construction site
heavy rehabilitation
I made the observation of the quantity of
materials that went to the dumpster
including new materials at the end of
site of surplus orders then
that in front we were building
rehabilitated an office hotel which these
materials could potentially serve
and find a second life and so that’s
why with my partner him if the lover
we decided to ride our
company to answer this problem
so we started by doing a study
field interviewed all actors
concerned
and then the question that arose
it was how to connect
supply and demand is there really
an appetite to build with
used materials we started there
a year and a half ago
and then we started receiving our
first calls from sellers customers
and so to put them in relation to us
we created the digital market place
dedicated to the reuse of
concrete construction we put
in relation to sellers with
buyers
the goal is to identify new
resources to map and
make them available in a way
instant
how does it work take the example of a
driver works on a construction site
rehabilitation with gates of all
intended to be thrown away
it is very simple
to find an alternative to the beautiful
he puts them online on the platform
between a few features he
was worth mapping because it allows
to interact within a radius of 20 km and
promote local sectors and he goes
enter a pickup date that
corresponds to the deadline by which
the material should be put to the
drop like yoghurt materials
have an end of life a date of
expiry that is imposed on them then
that they are still in good condition and
could find taker and examples
reuse are numerous so we
is very ground the correctness example
concrete so for example on a construction site
rehabilitation of a Paris station
acoustic panels had to be
thrown
they were put on line on the
platform and in less than a week we
found a buyer and today they
adorn the walls of a famous company
so we are young we started on
filed the company less than a year ago
today we are working on a
sixty sites is a
hundred of ad hundreds of
materials that have found a second life
and these are hundreds of meetings
since the goal is really
to align all the links in the chain
in order to perpetuate promote
the circular economy our heart of
job is to introduce the economy
circular on site but reuse
can also be diverted his name from
its use for making furniture
design
for example this chair that was
made from construction talais
of tissue scrapes and enough or even
when art seizes reuse in
full heart of the forest of fontainebleau
this sculpture cyclops gentili
which took over twenty years to be
realized and that was built at
from precisely
site that had no more users and
today re-employment is concrete
it is possible the circular pavilion
on the town hall square was
happy
and from strong carpentry a
Parisian building destined to be demolished
grating recover wool from
rock
it was an experimental project that was
intended to stay two months
finally he stayed four years before
to be auctioned
the benefits of re-employment and
the circular economy
according to a study could allow a
gain of 465 billion euros
savings on the cost of materials
then the economic value of the economy
circular is demonstrated
but what is the true value of
our resources on our planet
so I believe in the power of digital
I believe in the strength of the bim the btp
pillar of our economy is in
perpetual motion
it tends towards a circular economy and
six on your building sites you could
to make our waste
today’s resources of tomorrow
it’s up to all of us
to act
thank you
