Collaboration arena - Resource-efficient and circular aggregates of the future

Purpose and goal

The project aims to collectively increase resource management and create safe, efficient circular flows of rock material for construction work. The goal of the project is to develop a target image for an industry-wide collaboration arena, identify and delineate joint activities and forms of cooperation needed to speed up the transition, identify and propose complementary actors, e.g. developers, contractors, transporters, technical consultants, authorities and develop and propose the forms for the collaboration arena.

Expected effects and result

The effect of the project is 1) established cooperation where builders and SBMI´s members have started the cooperation arena 2) other industry players join in underhand and 3) establish a joint goal. An established and formalized cooperation that integrates several stakeholders in the value chain. This cooperation will then lead to 1) knowledge sharing, 2) innovation and technology development, 3) procurement and project implementation, 4) industry cooperation and network building, 5) policy development and standardization and 6) strengthened sustainability work.

Planned approach and implementation

The project is carried out in three stages; Step 1) Formulation and preparation, Step 2) Interviews and workshops, Step 3) Program explanation and debriefing. The project begins by analyzing the current situation and clarifying questions for a changeover. Based on the results, interviews are conducted which are compiled, presented and discussed at a workshop. The work is summarized in a synthesis that forms the basis of a program statement with the intention of proposing forms for a long-term formalized collaboration arena that gathers relevant actors in the entire value chain.
