The ReCon Soil project studied the potential reuse of surplus materials from the construction industry and whether they could provide a safe and sustainable source of healthy soils.
The €2.5million ReCon Soil project, supported by €1.8million from the European Regional Development Fund via the Interreg France (Channel) England programme, ran from April 2021 until June 2023.
Led by researchers at the University of Plymouth (UK) and working with a range of partners in the UK and France, ReCon Soil brought together scientists, industry and educators to investigate how waste material from construction projects is managed, both from a scientific and regulatory perspective.
