System Enablers for a Circular Economy Part 1
A circular economy is a pivotal part of the puzzle to solve the climate and nature crises. The built environment can play a major role in creating a thriving circular economy. In the UK, construction, demolition and excavation account for 60% of material use and waste generation. To support the built environment to transition away from a linear economy and towards circularity, UKGBC has published several guidance reports from its Circular Economy programme.
Eight months post launch of our most recent Resource Use publication System Enablers for a Circular Economy report, UKGBC is hosting a webinar to explore these findings further and bring to life the eight enablers identified, showcasing case studies and learnings from our members’ experiences.
Expert speakers from the UKGBC membership will will showcase their circular economy projects, relating the success of these to the system enablers in our latest publication.
This webinar series is split in two parts, each touching on a selection of different enablers.
