Die Resultate des CBI Booster
Der CBI Innovation Booster war ein nationales Schweizer Förderprogramm zur Beschleunigung der Kreislaufwirtschaft im Bau- und Immobiliensektor. Er brachte Unternehmen, Start-ups, Forschung und öffentliche Hand zusammen, um innovative Lösungen für zirkuläres Bauen zu entwickeln und in die Praxis zu überführen. Über mehrere Förderzyklen hinweg unterstützte der Booster 50 Projekte mit finanziellen Beiträgen, methodischer Begleitung und einem starken Netzwerk, wodurch vielfältige Innovationen entstanden – von neuen Material- und Wiederverwendungskonzepten über digitale Tools bis hin zu zirkulären Geschäftsmodellen. Sein Impact zeigt sich in konkreten Prototypen, pilotierten Anwendungen und neuen Kooperationen, die den Wandel hin zu einer ressourcenschonenden und zukunftsfähigen Bauwirtschaft messbar beschleunigt haben. Der CBI Booster wurde 2022 ins Leben gerufen. Am 23 Oktober 2025 endete er mit der abschliessenden UnConference. Was bleibt sind sind Innovation, Motivation und Kooperation – in Projekten, im Netzwerk und unseren Partnerschaften.
Weitere Informationen zum CBI Booster sind auf der CBI Website und Sus.Lab verfügbar.

This enables the calculation of, amongst others, the Madaster Circularity Indicator which evaluates the circular performance of a building. During the course of the booster, the aim is to validate the existing Madaster material and product database for the Swiss market and generate a Swiss Material database with average values that represent local conditions. | Digital Tools and Data Infrastructure | https://home.jointcreate.com/de_ch/ventures/307/ |
WoodCYCLE | 2 | 2022 | Altholz , was aus dem Rückbau von Gebäuden anfällt, wird
bislang überwiegend energetisch verwertet. Im Rahmen des Forschungsprojektes sollen Lösungsansätze erarbeitet werden, die aufzeigen, wie Altholz zur Ressource wird und im Kreislauf gehalten werden kann. | Material Innovation and Circular Products | |
TransForMatch | 2 | 2022 | Das Aufzeigen des Umnutzungspotentials von Bestandsbauten, insbes. Spezialbauten, ermöglicht zirkuläre, systematische Weiternutzung.
Mit typologischen Daten lässt sich das Transformationspotenzial parametrisieren und ein digitaler «Nutzungspass» erstellen. Das ermöglicht, einen Flächenbedarf «Neu» mit den «Nutzungspässen» des Bestands lokal zu matchen. Der «Nutzungspass» wird portfolioübergreifend und schweizweit erhoben (Einzelobjekt bis CH Siedlungsraum). | Resource Mapping and Urban Mining | |
Swiss Circular Construction Digital Ecosystem | 2 | 2022 | A Swiss Circular Construction Digital Ecosystem can enable the reuse of building materials and fast-track the transition of the built environment towards a circular economy. The digital ecosystem is a complex network that connects stakeholders and services to help scale up circular construction practices. The ecosystem will be developed to match supply and demand of construction materials as well as to match clients with service providers that will aid in material retrieval, transport, and management. | Digital Tools and Data Infrastructure | https://cea.ibi.ethz.ch |
Circular, low-carbon and price competitive floor slabs (Rematter) | 2 | 2022 | Floor slabs account for 65% of a building structure, are mostly made of reinforced concrete and thus have a huge negative impact on a building’s carbon footprint. ReMatter introduces a novel structural system. It matches the performance of concrete slabs, while making use of locally sourced materials (timber and earth). It is therefore 100% recyclable and features 80% less embodied carbon.
With the support of the CBI Booster we want to build a full scale mockup as a demonstrator of the system. | Circular Design and Construction Systems | https://www.rematter.earth |
Circoplast (Realcycle) | 2 | 2022 | In the Circoplast project, we aim to 1) determine the amounts and product varieties, and 2) evaluate the Circular Economy strategies reduce, reuse, and recycling for plastics in the building industry, including the design of a suitable system to do so.
This project will be conducted with different stakeholders (swisspor, Holcim, Neue Plastrec AG, Implenia, KUNSTSTOFF.swiss, cantons of BE, BL, BS, ZH) and will help to build a circular economy and reduce environmental impacts in the construction industry. | Policy & Ecosystem Development | https://redilo.ch/index.html |
Robotic fabrication of rammed earth elements (Erne) | 2 | 2022 | Wir verwenden Baugruben-Aushubmaterial ohne
Zusatzmittel (umgangssprachlich «Dreck») und stellen daraus vorgefertigte Stampflehmelemente her.

Mit dem innovativen Fertigungsprozess führen wir den traditionellen Stampflehm in die digitale Transformation und machen ihn BIM-fähig! | Material Innovation and Circular Products | https://www.erne.ch/de/ |
Impact Printing | 2 | 2022 | The use of excavation materials as a building material is a circular and carbon-neutral solution. Yet contemporary earth-based construction is labour and cost intensive and lacks digitalization. Our aim is to develop an efficient robotic building method using a custom earth-based material composed of excavation material. We aim to achieve a high level of automation, high efficiency,
and lower CO2 than 12 kg CO2 per m2 which would be more than 50% reduction compared to low carbon concrete walls. | Material Innovation and Circular Products | https://gramaziokohler.arch.ethz.ch |
IsoCott (Luuup) | 2 | 2022 | Luuup hat mit seinem Partner isofloc einen
alttextilbasierten Einblasdämmstoff zur Gebäudedämmung entwickelt. Der Prozess toleriert dabei alle Faserlängen und Fremdfasern und tritt so nicht in Konkurrenz zu anderen Recyclingprozessen, sondern adressiert den Anteil des Textilabfalls (ca. 87%), der bisher nur verbrannt oder deponiert wird. Zusätzlich wird Unabhängigkeit von der bisherigen Rohstoffquelle Altpapier geschaffen, womit auf den absehbaren Rückgang und Preisanstieg dieser Ressource reagiert wird. | Material Innovation and Circular Products | https://luuup.ch |

irmos | 4 | 2024 | Over 50% of our buildings do not meet the current structural standards. We cannot afford to replace all of them, and this would be environmentally disastrous. Our solution maximizes the safe life of buildings, and by doing so it minimizes the produced CO2 for structural maintenance.
AXA has already committed to test our solution in two buildings. With your support, we will estimate the saved CO2 and accelerate the implementation of our solution at portfolio level, which is necessary to maximize our impact. | Digital Tools and Data Infrastructure | https://home.jointcreate.com/de_ch/ventures/1129/?organizationId=79 |
KohlenKraft | 4 | 2024 | KohlenKraft will supply the construction sector with circular climate positive materials, which means that our building materials absorb more CO2 from the atmosphere than they release over their entire lifecycle and can be reused or recycled. Moritz (CTO) has been optimising our product features for 2.5 years and we are now ready to scale our market entry product (wall plaster) while refining our second product (thermal insulation). | Material Innovation and Circular Products | https://kohlenkraft.ch |
Refurbishing of Re-Use Steel (öbu) | 4 | 2024 | The goal of the project is to sketch an economical process
for refurbishing the surface of Re-Use Steel Sections. The process starts with the on-site analysis of the steel surface and ends with the disposal of the surface residues. Recommendations for technologies, lead times and target costs will be the outputs of the project. | Reuse | https://home.jointcreate.com/de_ch/ventures/1124/?organizationId=79 |

Integrating nature-based infrastructure - the foundation for regenerative built structures | 7 | This project develops a schema for digital planning to enable the early integration of nature-based infrastructure into construction projects. By including nature-based elements as high-performing infrastructure components from the outset, it aims to reduce reliance on technical systems, regenerate natural resources, and enhance urban resilience. A publicly accessible Use Case will document key interfaces and planning dependencies, making nature-based solutions easier to implement across disciplines and project phases. | Digital Tools and Data Infrastructure | https://www.systeamatik.ch | |
Reduce Demolition Reduce Emission: On-Site Mobile Robotic Sprax Based Printing for Upgrade and Strengthening of Building Structures | 7 | This project`s motivation is to explore the potential of innovative on-site fabrication techniques in construction robotics and automated systems for the upgrade (for reuse) of existing building structures to reduce demolitions.
The goal of the project in the short run is to realize the planned demonstrator, using the adaptive thin-layer plaster printing technology of LAYERED. | Digital Tools and Data Infrastructure | ||
Dirt-Master | 7 | Dirt-Master is a digital logistics platform that enables the circular use of clean excavated material by directly connecting construction sites, transport companies, and other stakeholders. By matching supply and demand regionally—without relying on interim landfilling—the platform reduces waste, CO₂ emissions, and costs. It brings all actors together in one ecosystem, making material flows in the construction industry smarter, greener, and more efficient. | Digital Tools and Data Infrastructure | https://www.fast-tool.ch | |
Insurance Model for Reused Building Materials - A Scalable Framework for Circular Construction | 7 | ReUse should no longer be a risk, but an insurable standard in construction. Our project develops a dedicated insurance model for reused building components, integrating them into existing risk structures to provide legal and financial certainty. Unlike case-by-case solutions, our approach is scalable, transferable, and economically viable to paving the way for ReUse to shift from an exception to a new industry norm. | Policy & Ecosystem Development | https://www.oebu.ch | |
Vademecum | 7 | The Vademecum, a knowledge-intensive document for investors and owners is intended to make it easier to create awareness among the target group. This is to be achieved through a narrative suitable for the financial world, which presents concrete project experiences in a language specific for the target group and shows implementation recommendations from owners with practical experience. It should become a story of success. | Policy & Ecosystem Development | https://circularhub.ch/detail/circular-construction-roi | |
upCeiling – upcycling of recycled aggregates in earth screed for circular ceilings | 7 | Development of an earth screed for the base and final layer based on CDW without addition of chemical additives. – Maximise the fraction of CDW to minimise CO2 emissions, while ensuring that no harmful substances from CDW will be included in the recycling content. | Reuse | ||
Bring the insurers in the circle (amener les assureurs dans le cercle) ! | 7 | The project aims to dispel any doubts about the insurability of re-use projects in Switzerland. We are convinced that a change in the scale of re-use will be possible if we can demonstrate project owners and planners that they can ask for reuse product without any additional risk. While we see the standardisation of re-use products as an option (bottom-up approach, via the industry), we are also considering others options like changes in standards and insurance products. | Reuse | ||
InterpreT - Interdisciplinary Preservation Tool | 7 | Interdisciplinary Preservation Tool (InterPreT) facilitates a simple interdisciplinary, model-based collaboration workflow between relevant actors in the earliest planning phase – when the decision for or against preservation of a built asset is made. The tool offers a guided exchange process based on real-time data feedback from a simplified 3D model between owners, architects, engineers, contractors and users. | Digital Tools and Data Infrastructure | ||
Re-Veal Steinwolle - Prozessentwicklung für die Weiternutzung verbauter Steinwolle basierend auf dem Care-Modell | 7 | The project “Re-Veal Mineral Wool” is developing a practical model for the reuse of hidden materials, using mineral wool as an example. By applying the care model and systematically gathering information, built-in resources are identified, assessed, and made accessible for the circular economy. The project examines material assessments, deconstruction processes, reuse strategies, responsibilities, stakeholder needs, regulatory conditions, and business models. The goal is to create a hands-on proposal for on-site audits, a structured material documentation process, and its integration into real construction workflows — adding value to circular construction and local value creation. | Material Innovation and Circular Products | ||
Low-Carbon Slab in reused concrete | 7 | The project seeks to standardize the dimensioning and extraction of concrete slabs, enabling their structural reuse at scale through a post-tensioned assembly method. As a structurally sound and well-controlled alternative to new concrete, this methodology also reduces raw material extraction, construction waste, and CO₂ emissions (by over 60% compared to conventional reinforced concrete). Through the development of an openly accessible manual, the project aims to provide designers, architects, engineers, masons, and contractors with practical guidelines to integrate reuse into everyday construction and deconstruction, towards a more circular, resilient, and low-carbon built environment. | Reuse | https://home.jointcreate.com/de_ch/ventures/1180/?organizationId=79 | |
Circular Delivery Compass - A Decision Framework for Sustainable Building Models | 7 | The Circular Delivery Compass develops a practical, research-based method to help stakeholders choose the right delivery model—such as IPD or Design-Build—for circular construction. While BIM has digitalized planning, delivery models remain outdated. Integrated approaches are key to reuse and collaboration, yet guidance is lacking. In partnership with the IPD Lab, Campus Sursee, Amberg Loglay, and HHM, the project draws on real projects and BIM simulations to design a clear, usable framework. The result: a transferable tool to support early-stage decision-making and align delivery models with circular goals—enabling smarter, more sustainable construction from the start. | Digital Tools and Data Infrastructure | ||
