Principle 4R in practice
The principle of 4R: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Rethink, serves as a key element of our work. By analyzing this principle in the context of sustainable design, we will explore methods of its implementation and its impact on the natural environment and the local community. We will delve into our scientific and practical experiences related to the revitalization process of complexes such as the Żnin Sugar Factory, Uphagen Manor, or the Royal Paper Factory.
