Circularity has become the next buzz word for the built environment. Whilst it’s easy to preach as the future of the industry, what will it actually mean?

This panel session will explore how circularity will impact each level of the built environment from the upfront investment decisions that enable it, through to the supply chain that will deliver it on site. It will explore…

Why is circularity important? Will our current investment models enable or stifle the opportunity? Do these need to change?

What design decisions do we need to make to make circularity possible? Is it a fundamental change in how we design buildings or the latest refinement in the industry?

How do we deliver this? What does this mean for the supply chain? Is it a case of the existing supply chain adapting, or is this an opportunity for an entirely new group?
