Welcome to the Circular Construction Chronicles! In this newsletter, we aim to provide you with the latest updates, news, and insights on how the construction industry is embracing circular economy principles to reduce waste and maximize resources.
Circular economy is a sustainable approach that focuses on reducing waste and keeping resources in circulation for as long as possible. In the construction industry, circular economy principles can be applied to various stages of the construction process, including design, procurement, construction, operation, and end-of-life.
In this newsletter, we will explore innovative strategies, case studies, and best practices that highlight how the construction industry is moving towards a more circular approach, with a focus on reducing waste and maximizing resources. Here's a sneak peek of what you can expect from our newsletter:
