Short description of project
ECO-SANDWICH is a ventilated prefabricated wall panel utilising recycled CDW and mineral wool produced using innovative and sustainable Ecose® technology for reduction of primary energy consumption in building stock. The concept incorporates three priorities of the eco-innovation call; it uses recycled material to create innovative sustainable building product which contributes to greening the business of SMEs through decreasing their environmental impact accompanied by the use of less non-renewable or natural resources, and energy efficiency of final products (buildings). Specific objectives are: development of a marketing strategy for the  introduction of an innovative, environmentally friendly and sustainable product; set up a mechanism to exploit across Europe; encourage the re-use and recycling of construction and demolition waste (CDW) in order to shift CDW management from disposal to recycling and reduce utilisation of natural resources thus preventing landscape degradation; promote the substitution of conventional thermal insulation materials by mineral wool produced using innovative and sustainable technology, leading to a reduced environmental impact; promote implementation of prefabricated, energy efficient products in order to enable reduction of primary energy consumption in residential and commercial buildings and reduce embodied energy, embodied carbon and production of by-product wastes.
