Urban Mining at the Heart of ZIN

This sustainable approach means recovering building materials from existing buildings and infrastructure, reducing the need to source new materials from the earth. At Befimmo, we truly believe in this innovative solution!

Our ZIN project stands as one of Europe’s largest urban mining initiatives, leading the way in sustainable construction:

- Over 1,000 tons of materials have been reused, and 30,000 tons upcycled
- 95% of the original towers’ mass has been repurposed or recycled, leaving only 5% as non-recovered waste.

On October 23, we welcomed 15 international journalists who got an inside look at the potential of urban mining through a presentation by our Environmental Officer, Geoffroy Knipping. A huge thanks to Geoffroy for sharing how urban mining can help shape a more sustainable future!
