Conditions for reuse of building components in Finland

The reuse of building components in Finland is limited as of yet, although their use is seen to have potential. Large-scale reuse would also contribute to climate change mitigation. However, the reuse of building components is subject to legislative and validation-related framework conditions, which are addressed in this Policy Brief.
In addition to regulation, the reuse of building components can be promoted and accelerated by developing methods, procedures and guidelines for substantiating and verifying the characteristics of materials and for validating them.
