Almost 2/3 of all UK waste comes from the buildings sector. By auditing what can be reused, developers can save money, carbon and materials. So why is this not standard practice?
One of the most effective methods for enhancing circularity in buildings, such as pre-redevelopment audits - essentially assessing what can be reused before tearing anything down - remain relatively obscure to the majority and are known only within a limited group of experts.
Drawing from comprehensive guidance on circularity, co-authored by our speaker, Brogan MacDonald, head of sustainability, Building Structures, Ramboll UK, Brogan enlarges on how reuse and waste audits with the aid of practical tools and methodologies can help transform the way we build, by changing our perspective on the buildings we already have.
