No more incineration: De Meuter and Composil cut the carbon footprint

The deconstruction of the NOR5 tower, led by De Meuter, was an ambitious project that tested our capabilities in sustainable construction and material valorization. It was a real challenge — ideal for showcasing the know-how of our teams and the strength of our innovative processes.

For recycling the installed carpet, De Meuter chose to partner with Composil — a specialist in maintenance, reuse and recycling of commercial carpet.

For Composil, the challenge was significant: remove all of the carpet in the premises in just 10 days, while maximising opportunities for reuse.
