Designing for circularity: How aquatic architecture can lead the way

Myrtha technologies: RenovAction and R-Evolution Membrane

Advert by Myrtha Pools

Sustainability is no longer an option, it’s an expectation. For sports and leisure architects and engineers, the challenge is to move beyond “green labels” and design buildings that truly embrace circularity. Aquatic facilities, often considered resource-intensive, are becoming an unexpected field of innovation.

Myrtha’s projects integrate recyclable membranes and modular stainless-steel panels into a heritage redevelopment. Instead of demolish­ing and rebuilding, they demonstrate how pool con­struction can minimize waste while aligning with the principles of adaptive reuse.

At the core of this approach are two Myrtha technologies: Renov­Action and the R-Evolution Membrane. Myrtha RenovAction makes it possible to refurbish obsolete concrete pools without complete demolition, reducing downtime for facilities and cutting up to 50% of CO2 emissions compared to traditional construction methods.
