In San Antonio, the Material Innovation Center (MIC) works with contractors, reuse stores, and corporate donors to take in excess woodwork, windows, lumber, siding and other materials after buildings get demolished. This debris gets channeled toward affordable housing, all thanks to MIC. Another outfit, Reuse Innovation Center, is based in Bellingham, Washington, and services the Pacific Northwest.

To boost its own circular economy, New York City is following suit. Dave Bennink of the Circular Construction Network and Building Deconstruction Institute shared plans this week to build the New York City Reuse Innovation Center (NYC-RIC), what Bennink says will become a “center of circular construction.”

NYC-RIC will be located in Brooklyn, Bennink said, but the group is still looking for space. It will contain a “reusable building material store, a showroom, classroom, and a collaborative maker/remanufacturing space called the CoLab,” he said. Bennink is actively looking for businesses who’d like to move into the space and synergistically work “towards circularity in the built environment.”

In 2024, the Tsukuba massif granite of the Mt. Tsukuba Area Geopark was certified by the International Union of Geological Sciences as one of the first 55 IUGS Heritage Stones, which have been “used in significant architecture and monuments” and “recognized as integral aspects of human culture.”

“But it is not only the geological diversity and scientific value that the IUGS recognizes, but also the cultural and historical value of the stones based on how local people have used the resources.”

 “We need to preserve the special techniques of mining and stone working while securing human resources. This certification was a perfect opportunity for people in the industry to think about how to preserve the mining culture in a sustainable way while preserving the geological heritage itself.”

The certification was also an opportunity to reassess the local history and culture. Sugihara noted that in ancient times, mountain worship flourished in this area, and huge stones and rocks found in the mountains were the object of worship and places for ascetic practices.
