Minett-Kompost: APD approved unanimously (LUX)

The Minett-Kompost project aims to optimise its industrial infrastructure in line with the principles of the circular economy and sustainable development, as part of a strategy for ecological transformation. This includes the construction of a new administration building, the reorganisation of logistics processes, the creation of a green parking area, and the redesign of the educational garden. The main objectives are to improve traffic flows, working conditions, resource management, and to introduce innovative technologies in the fields of energy, waste management and landscape design, with a view to becoming a benchmark site for sustainable industrial and urban planning.

The planned administration building adopts a bioclimatic approach that maximises energy efficiency through optimised orientation and the use of natural materials. Its building envelope, made of recycled aluminium, guarantees a low carbon footprint, durability and low maintenance requirements. In line with the ‘Cradle-to-Cradle’ principle, the façade can be fully recycled at the end of its lifespan, ensuring minimal environmental impact.

The timber structure, made of cross-laminated timber (CLT) sourced from sustainably managed forests, is characterised by a low carbon footprint, mechanical strength and high indoor comfort. It stores CO2 and thus reduces the building’s environmental impact. Thanks to its lightness and robustness, CLT enables fast, precise and factory-prefabricated construction, which minimises waste and disruption on site. Furthermore, its reversibility and reusability at the end of its life cycle support the circular economy and sustainable building practices.

The construction project will be carried out in several phases, whilst the site’s ongoing operations will be fully maintained.
