Background & Context


The 2024 Paris Olympic Village, located on a 46 ha riverside site in Seine-Saint-Denis, was designed by Dominique Perrault to house approximately 14,500 Olympic and 9,000 Paralympic athletes in nearly 3,000 apartments across 82 buildings. The project demanded a strong focus on sustainability from the very beginning, and Neo-Eco was hired by the Olympic Works Delivery Company SOLIDEO to ensure that all the pre-construction demolitions were carried out in the most sustainable way possible.


What We Did


  • We helped define SOLIDEO's environmental objectives regarding the demolitions.

  • We provided project management assistance in the selective deconstruction of buildings, which allowed us to conserve many of the existing buildings' elements like windows, radiators, flooring, and more, for re-use before the demolitions took place.

  • We provided guidance on how to manage all other waste that came from the demolitions.

  • We helped SOLIDEO to draft circular economy clauses in their tenders and contracts, thereby guaranteeing that sustainability would be incorporated by all contractors



Outcome


We achieved a 95% material recovery rate from the 40k tons of materials resulting from 28 building demolitions, resulting in very little waste ending up in landfills.
