No more carpet incineration! De Meuter and Composil join forces for a project with a lighter carbon footprint

The NOR5 tower deconstruction project, led by De Meuter, represented a unique challenge in terms of sustainable construction and material revaluation. An opportunity not to be missed to demonstrate our teams' expertise and our innovative processes in demanding circumstances.

Regarding the already installed carpet, De Meuter decided to call on Composil, a specialist in the maintenance, reuse, and recycling of office carpet.
