Circularity in real estate: Approaches to achieving a truly sustainable sector

Overview

The construction and real estate sectors are among the world’s largest consumers of raw materials, generating significant amounts of embodied carbon and producing substantial waste. How, then, can buildings be transformed into material banks, that serve as sustainable resources and new valuable business assets at the end of their life cycle?

This webinar, in partnership with Drees & Sommer, will explore how the “cradle to cradle” concept can be effectively implemented to promote and support the principles of the circular economy.

Our panel will discuss circularity challenges and opportunities, including tackling embodied carbon, materials health, and the potential for upcycling and recycling within existing buildings.

They will examine relevant legal frameworks, best practices, investment trends, and the role of technology. The webinar will feature successful case studies and offer actionable insights into the considerations and steps to meet your circularity goals.
