In a sector undergoing transformation, the demands for sustainability and resource management have become essential. Prefabrication plays a key role in this change, particularly due to the possibilities of reuse and circularity it offers. This article explores how the prefabrication of bathrooms contributes to more sustainable construction, focusing on the solutions developed by BAUDET to accompany this transition to a circular economy.
The reuse of bathrooms : a concrete example with BAUDET
BAUDET has positioned itself as a committed player in the ecological transition for several years. The project for the Olympic Village of Paris 2024 is emblematic of this commitment : a portion of the 450 bathrooms installed for this event will be reused on other projects once the Olympic phase is over, perfectly illustrating the potential for reuse of these products. Thanks to prefabrication, BAUDET can dismantle and reinstall its bathrooms without generating new materials or unnecessary waste.
The circular economy : a necessity for the construction sector
The construction industry is responsible for a significant share of greenhouse gas emissions and waste production worldwide. With the rise of environmental concerns, the need to find more sustainable solutions is more pressing than ever. Prefabrication provides an immediate and concrete response by allowing for better material management, reducing construction waste, and reusing modules, thus extending their lifespan.
The Refresh service : giving bathrooms a second life
To further this sustainability initiative, BAUDET has developed the Refresh service. This program offers clients the opportunity to extend the life of their bathrooms pods by avoiding premature major renovations, as would have been the case with a traditional solution. Designed to last, BAUDET bathrooms are not meant to be replaced regularly. The service thus includes aesthetic and functional renovations (replacement of certain parts, updating of equipment, etc.), thus reducing the need for new resources and offering a second life to existing installations.
Sustainable materials for better recyclability
The use of suitable materials is essential in a logic of circularity. This is why BAUDET is constantly rethinking its material choices to incorporate more sustainable and recyclable components. The new metal range designed by BAUDET in 2016 is an example of this : by gradually reducing polyester in favour of metal, BAUDET improves the recyclability of its products and meets the new environmental requirements of the sector.
By adopting reuse and circularity solutions, BAUDET is not only meeting current market expectations, but anticipates the needs of tomorrow by integrating sustainability into its processes. Prefabrication is thus a practical and innovative response for a sector in search of ecology and efficiency.
