We are a research and consultancy organisation

We apply our expertise within circular economic modelling, resource efficiency, environmental policies, Life Cycle Cost (LCC) assessment, sustainable business models and market exploitation strategies in projects supporting the transition to a circular and sustainable economy.

Our activities within EU research projects has led to the spin-off start up URBAN TREE, providing cities and citizens with more solutions to green their urban spaces.

About the company

CWare was founded in 2020 as a spin-off from ApHER ApS and continue the works and involvement in a number of EU research projects within circular economy, urban resilience and transition to a green economy.

CWare is based in Copenhagen and we are part of the BLOXHUB, the Nordic Hub for sustainable urbanization.

We are part of Circle House Lab

Circle House Lab is a continuation of the company developments and collaborations from the project Circle House. With Lejersbo as the developer, Circle House is designed to be the world’s first residential building constructed according to circular principles. The aim of Circle House is to create a circular example that is offered and built on market conditions. The project is expected to be completed in 2021.

Circle House Lab is run by GXN and Responsible Assets, in collaboration with Danish Standard.

Circle House Lab is anchored physically and digitally at BLOXHUB, where knowledge from projects and events can be accessed. The project is supported by: Realdania and the Danish Environmental Protection Agency’s Development and Demonstration Pool (MUDP).

Research projects

CURE

Horizon2020

(2020-2023)

CURE synergistically exploits the Copernicus Core Services and develops an umbrella cross-cutting application for urban resilience in DIAS (Data and Information Access Services), consisting of individual cross-cutting applications for climate change adaptation/mitigation, energy and economy, as well as healthy cities and social environments, at several European cities.

URBCON

NVE Interreg project

(2019-2022)

By-products for sustainable concrete in the urban environment

URBCON will reduce the high primary raw material consumption and CO2 emissions, that result from the construction and maintenance of the urban built environment (e.g. buildings, pavements, sewer pipes, bridges). The focus is on concrete, being the most used building material. The overall objective is to apply by-products as alternative raw materials for concrete.

Activity 1: Sustain URBCON technology

Activity 2: Sustain the SRM Market Platform

Activity 3. Quantify environmental and economic viability

Activity 4: Roadmap for roll-out of URBCON concept

DURSAAM

Marie Curie Innovative Training Network

(2018-2022)

PhD framework creating a critical mass of experts skilled in innovative alkali-activated material (AAM).

The aim of DuRSAAM is to strengthen the European research area on eco-efficient construction materials and the increased competitiveness of Europe’s construction sector, in applying concrete technology based on alkali-activated materials (AAM) for a more sustainable built environment.

WOOL2LOOP

Horizon2020

(2018-2020)

Mineral wool waste back to loop with advanced sorting, pretreatment and alkali activation.

The WOOL2LOOP project aims to close this material loop by introducing novel technology and value chain to CDW sorting, pretreatment, and processing.

The quality of sorted mineral wool is upgraded by comparing and combining the following approaches: pre-demolition audit, robotized demolition and sorting, novel on-site analysis with timegated Raman spectroscopy, and smart demolition practices.

NEWSOL

Horizon2020

(2017-2020)

Advanced material solutions towards high efficiency solar energy harvesting.

NewSol develops advanced materials solutions based on innovative storage media and concepts for Thermal Energy Storage (TES) for Concentrated Solar Power (CSP).

APSE

FP7 project

(2013-2017)

Use of eco-friendly materials for a new concept of asphalt pavements for sustainable environments.

To demonstrate and validate an eco-innovative design of asphalt pavements based on the integration of more sustainable materials into its production cycle.

This goal will be achieved by working on two asphalt mixtures’ main components, binders and aggregates. On the binder side, the aim is to replace almost the 100% of the bitumen by greener materials from renewable raw sources, e.g. vegetable oils, by-products of bioethanol production.

On the aggregates’ side, efforts will be made on the valorization of Construction and Demolition Waste and in the use of reclaimed asphalt for asphalt mixtures.
