Circular Buildings Toolkit – online panel discussion

Moving away from a 'take, make, dispose' consumption model, circular economy strategies can help on our journey towards a net zero economy. Buildings alone account for 37% of global greenhouse gas emissions, with construction materials losing around 95% of their value during demolition.

Developed by Arup and the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, the Circular Buildings Toolkit brings together strategies, case studies and tools to help real estate professionals apply circular economy when designing or managing their assets.  

We hosted a panel discussion with industry leaders, exploring how the toolkit provides a practical framework to enable stakeholders across the building lifecycle to optimise assets for circularity.
