Approaches and solutions to this will be showcased at BAU 2025 in Munich from January 13 to 17, 2025. The sustainable use of available resources requires a rethink in all areas and among all those involved in construction. That includes, for example, using environmentally friendly, recyclable, renewable or sustainably produced materials and raw materials, or reducing the emission and energy intensity of conventional building materials through new production processes. How buildings are used and operated also has an impact on resource conservation. A much-discussed topic is circular construction, which requires not only recyclable building materials and components but also a different way of planning and building. read more 23.10.2024 bauma 2025, the world's leading trade fair for construction machinery, building material machines, mining machines, construction vehicles and construction equipment, will be held in Munich from April 7 to 13, 2025. It is estimated that the construction value chain currently accounts for around 36 percent of carbon emissions within the EU.
