    About Opalis

    The objective of the Opalis website is to facilitate the reuse of materials in construction and renovation projects. To this end, Opalis is organised on the basis of different sections.

    • The site shows an overview of professional retailers who sell building materials coming from old dismantled buildings.  In addition to their reuse products, these operators often offer other services: dismantling and cleaning, tailor-made elements, specialised advice, etc. In many cases, calling on their expertise is the best way to achieve the reuse ambitions within a construction project. The services offered by each operator are shown in detail on the descriptive sheets.

    • Opalis also provides technical documentation on the most common construction products on the reuse market: their main characteristics, frequency of release, availability, indicative prices, etc.

    • A third part describes recent realizations in which reuse materials have been applied successfully and in an inspiring way.

    • The last section contains useful documents and links for visitors who want to gather additional information.

    The website Opalis was founded by Rotor vzw/asbl. Rotor is an association active since 2005 in the field of reuse of building elements, through research, interior projects with reclaimed materials, and various collaborations with architects, contractors and building owners. Within the framework of the ‘Plateforme Réemploi' project (2017), the architects of Atelier 4|5 also contributed to the content of this site.

    Through the FCRBE project, carried out within the framework of the Interreg NWE programme, the cooperative Bellastock and the association Les Aventuriers du Sixième Continent contribute to the further expansion of the content of the website.

    Le site Opalis a été réalisé par l’asbl Rotor.

Dans le cadre du projet "Plateforme Réemploi" (2017), le bureau Atelier 4|5 a également contribué au contenu de ce site.

    Dans le cadre du projet FCRBE, mené dans le cadre du programme Interreg NWE, la coopérative Bellastock et l'association Aventuriers du Sixième Continent contribuent à l'alimentation du contenu du site.
