According to a media release , Eberhard Bau AG has opened the first interactive educational trail for the circular economy in the Park of Circularity in Oberglatt. The park was developed in cooperation with the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich ( ETH ), which is researching forward-looking building methods as part of the project. The recycling course is intended to convey responsible use of limited resources “physically with real materials you can touch”.
The information, which can be called up easily with a smartphone, is aimed at the general public, schools, families with children, young people and, in more detail, at specialist audiences. A sensation is a robot that park guests can use to sort construction waste. An autonomously working robot has already been used to build a 65 meter long and 6 meter high dry stone wall and the park terraces.
A tour on site is barrier-free 365 days a year and makes it possible to experience “what circular economy means in general, what challenges and solutions exist and that the construction industry plays a central role towards a functioning circular economy”. According to Eberhard Bau, it has been implementing the principle of the circular economy for more than 30 years. Circular economic and construction methods help to minimize the ecological footprint, which was symbolically addressed at the opening of the park by fifth-graders from Oberglatt by immortalizing their footprints in concrete.
The park of circularity developed by the ETH Zurich, in which the latest research on promising construction methods, autonomous construction, robotics and architecture are combined, had its premiere together with the circular educational trail.
