Construction accounts for roughly 25% of UK greenhouse gas emissions and uses about 370Mt of materials annually. 🏗️ There is a huge opportunity for resource efficiency and circular economy, plus exciting new technologies and processes are being developed to address the opportunity. 🔁 But how can current carbon accounting and LCA methodologies encourage their adoption? In this webinar, a panel of expert speakers will present their perspectives on how standards and regulations can encourage innovation and circularity in construction, with a focus on the RICS WLCA standard. Can this webinar be the starting point towards achieving a circular economy in construction? #Construction #CircularEconomy #Construction #Carbon
Often construction doesn't start from a fresh site, there's an existing structure and materials already there. Are we making best use of these for the next development? Does current carbon accounting methodology incentivise the industry to do so? I've had some interesting discussions on the topic with Eoin Bailey, Steve Gilchrist, Amit Patel and Lucy Smith leading to this webinar, in partnership with Futurebuild. We will be delving into current LCA practices, how reuse and recycling fits in them and thinking about how changes could greater incentivise circular economy practices in construction. Register for the webinar below. I'm keen to hear from people who are interested in this subject and would like to work together to build circularity into construction! #Construction #CircularEconomy #LCA
