DISRUPT - Delivering Innovative Steel ReUse ProjecT

_Disrupt(提供创新的钢材再利用项目)致力于探索建筑结构钢的创新再利用，并鼓励采用新的循环经济商业模式，以帮助应对气候紧急情况。__钢材是建筑业使用最广泛、资源最密集的材料之一。尽管钢材通常在使用寿命结束时被回收利用，但尽管钢材具有明显的环境效益、碳效益和循环经济效益，钢材的再利用却微乎其微。钢材在寿命结束时的高价值可以通过在广泛的建筑应用中重复使用来实现。__以前的研究表明，重复利用存在障碍，包括经济因素、供应链问题、可获得性和需求不足。需要新的商业模式，以确保钢铁再利用的好处在整个价值链上积累起来，并支撑现有和新参与者的活动。__Disrupt试图通过将钢铁建筑再利用中的主要参与者--客户、承包商和采购商，以及那些将受到从回收到再利用模式转变特别影响的人--如拆迁承包商--聚集在一起来应对这些挑战。__将进行一项详细的可行性研究，重点放在现实生活中的案例研究上，这些案例从头到尾都跟踪重复使用钢铁的“旅程”，提供了涵盖不同规模和类型的项目的丰富数据来源。_该项目将提供新的成本循环商业模式，可作为其他有兴趣进入再利用行业的公司的蓝图，最终实现更多的再利用钢铁供应市场。如果钢铁再利用要成为主流，新的商业模式必须是有利可图的，对整个价值链是公平的，而且再利用的钢铁很容易在建筑项目中获得并易于指定。__Disrupt旨在证明钢铁再利用在缓解气候变化方面可以发挥重要作用。

_DISRUPT (Delivering Innovative Steel ReUse ProjecT) seeks to explore the innovative reuse of structural steel in construction and encourage the adoption of new circular economy business models that can help tackle the climate emergency.__Steel is one of the most widely used and resource intensive materials used in construction. Although commonly recycled at end of life, the reuse of steel is minimal despite the apparent environmental, carbon and circular economy benefits. The high value of steel at end of life can be realised by being reused in a wide range of construction applications.__Previous studies have shown that there are barriers to reuse including economic factors, supply chain issues, availability, and lack of demand. New business models are required to ensure that the benefits of steel reuse are accrued across the value chain and underpin the activities of existing and new actors.__DISRUPT seeks to address these challenges by bringing together the leading actors involved in steel construction reuse - client, contractor, and stockist, and those that will be particularly impacted by the transition from a recycling to a reuse model, such as demolition contractors.__A detailed feasibility study will be undertaken focusing on real life case studies which track the 'journey' of reused steel from start to finish, providing a rich data source covering different sizes and types of projects, and variability in geographical location across the UK.__The project will deliver new costed circular business models that can act as a blueprint for other companies interested in entering the reuse sector, ultimately to achieve a greater supply of reuse steel into the marketplace. If steel reuse is to become mainstream, it is imperative that new business models are profitable and equitable to the whole value chain, and that reused steel is readily available and easy to specify within construction projects.__DISRUPT aims to prove that steel reuse can have a major role to play in mitigating climate change._
