Edeka builds a recyclable supermarket
Germany’s leading supermarket chain Edeka is building a new store in Braunschweig using the sustainable “Triqbriq wood construction system”. This is the first time this system has been used in Germany.
The 1,100 square metre store, which is scheduled to open in spring 2025, will be built using mainly reusable and recyclable materials to promote sustainable circularity. Made using robotic technology from cheap industrial and storm-damaged timber, which is typically burnt, the ‘Briqs’ building elements are fixed together with beech wood dowels without artificial binders. The process enables the walls to be completely dismantled and reused on other sites. It also eliminates drying time, reducing construction time.
Compared to other timber-based construction methods, the ‘Triqbriq timber building system’ is more flexible in design and easier to retrofit. The roof is made of multi-layered wooden panels instead of the usual steel trapezoidal sheets, which results in lower foundation requirements and CO2-intensive concrete savings. The façade is also made of wood.
Wood construction with this system offers a more environmentally friendly alternative. The construction of the building results in about 50 percent less CO2 emissions compared to conventional construction methods.
The property will also feature a photovoltaic system, which is now mandatory for Edeka stores, and a sophisticated metering, monitoring and control technology that monitors the overall energy consumption of the property and regulates its operation efficiently.
