Looking back at the National Sustainable Building Congress – Lille Grand Palais

On 4 September 2025, our project CBC – Circular Building Convert was showcased during the panel discussion “When the world inspires us”.

Some of the partners, presented the project’s goals and ambitions, aiming to accelerate the transition towards more circular and sustainable buildings.

This was a great opportunity to highlight local innovation while drawing inspiration from international initiatives, including those from our Canadian colleagues Emanuelle GEHEIN (RECYC-QUÉBEC) and Étienne GRAVEL (Pomerleau), as well as our Belgian neighbours from the city of Roeselare with Ine LOBELLE.

Together, we strive to mobilise more stakeholders in social and affordable housing, construction and sustainable development – in Europe and beyond – to join us on this collective journey.

Many thanks to the organisers and all participants for the insightful and inspiring exchanges that continue to strengthen our shared commitment to a more sustainable future.
