Sustainable design of a public toilet building through reuse (English)
Abstract [en]

Today, the construction and property sector accounts for close to 40% of the global climate emissions. In Sweden, the waste from the construction industry is almost half of the total waste. That is a major problem and people need to get more aware of and increase the reuse, recycling and circular economy to reduce the climate footprint. The purpose of the study is to establish which materials can be reused to construct a public toilet building. A study has been made to illustrate if a building can be built in only reused materials and products. The goal is thereby to present an illustrated public toilet building with the materials that can be used to construct the building. The goal is also to display obstacles when building with only reused products. Through the use of a case study a public toilet building was designed to be placed in a fairytale world constructed by Aktiebolaget Boll & Stropp. Some of the materials that can be and is reused in the building is brick, glass, wood and procelain products. This case study has proven that it is to a high degree possible to build a public toilet in only reused materials.
