During the visit, the delegation explored Äerd Lab’s innovative approach to sustainable construction using earth-based building materials. The team shared insights into their processes, the ecological benefits of their techniques, and the long-term impact of local, circular construction methods.

Their Royal Highnesses showed great interest in the potential of these natural materials to contribute to Luxembourg’s broader environmental goals. The tour included a close look at Äerd Lab’s production area, where guests saw how raw earth is transformed into energy-efficient building components.
