Earlier, isolated experiments in the pilot countries have shown that reuse can be viable in optimal conditions, but there are major obstacles with the technology, acceptability, supply chain integration, economics and the lack of circular construction business models.

Localization is an important aspect of the project, as the operational environment is framed by local border conditions (e.g. industry structures, building norms, construction techniques). Due to the significant stocks of precast buildings in the Baltic and Balkan regions, the knowledge sharing, dissemination and communication activities of ReCreate are targeted, in addition to the piloting countries, particularly to Eastern EU member states.
