The Sustainable Built Environment National Research Centre (SBEnrc), Australia have published the report 'Enhancing the Use of Products with Recycled Contents in the Australian Construction Industry'. This report aims to increase business opportunities and benefits for manufacturers of such products and achieve circular supply chain #sustainability. The aim of the project is to increase the use of construction products with #recycled content to make the use of them more mainstream.

One way to minimize waste from the #construction and #demolition phases is establishing a circular economy, in which construction companies continuously recycle and reuse building materials for new purposes and/or in new projects. ♻️ At the #linkbelow, Cemex Ventures’s Ibon Iribar discusses how to embrace #circularity to reduce #environmental impact in construction! ⤵️

The construction industry is embracing sustainability like never before, with leading companies acquiring recycling firms to bolster their circular economy efforts. Aggregate Industries UK and Heidelberg Materials are at the forefront of this movement, demonstrating a clear commitment to environmental stewardship and waste reduction. Read the full article to see how this trend is developing: https://zurl.co/QV13 As the UK’s leading digital platform dedicated to the circular economy within construction materials and aggregates Soil Link is playing a crucial role; we are enabling our users to identify sustainable alternatives to landfill via reuse and recycling. Soil Link’s Materials Exchange Platform offers significant benefits, such as: • CO2e Reduction: Significantly lower your carbon footprint. • Cost Savings: Substantial reductions in disposal and material costs. • Extensive Database: Access the UK’s most comprehensive repository of materials for recycling and reuse. #Sustainability #Construction #CircularEconomy #Recycling #AggregateIndustries #HeidelbergMaterials #SoilLink #GreenBuilding #EnvironmentalStewardship #CO2Reduction

The circular economy offers a framework for leaders to address sustainability challenges by promoting the reuse, recycling, and repurposing of materials within the construction sector.

By adopting circular practices, construction companies can lower carbon emissions, save costs and use resources more sustainably. This article highlights the importance of recycling and reusing materials like drywall and concrete to minimise waste and reduce environmental impact: https://buff.ly/3Sz28Qv #Sustainability #CircularEconomy #EnvironmentalImpact #TeamRidge #ExpertWitness

The circular economy offers a framework for leaders to address sustainability challenges by promoting the reuse, recycling, and repurposing of materials within the construction sector.

Recycled aggregates are pivotal in minimising environmental impact and promoting resource conservation in sustainable construction practices. Recycled aggregates play a crucial role in sustainable construction by conserving natural resources, reducing waste, and lowering carbon emissions. Cheshire Demolition stands as a leader in the recycling and creation of aggregates for the building industry, recycling over 99% of all materials at our recycling centre. Cheshire Demolition exemplifies the principles of the circular economy through its commitment to recycling, reusing, and repurposing materials.

I've long highlighted how sustainability initiatives, like a circular supply chain, support business initiatives. CRH's recent contract with Google is a perfect real-world example of how circular economy practices can significantly enhance project acquisition and long-term business and environment sustainability. By transforming waste into valuable resources, construction companies can decrease costs and appeal to environmentally conscious customers and investors, securing more contracts and fostering enduring business relationships. Moreover, circular economy practices align closely with broader ESG goals, promoting resilience and long-term success. Integrating these sustainable strategies also contributes to global efforts to mitigate climate change, ultimately benefiting our planet and our bottom line. Embracing circularity is more than a trend—it's a pathway to a sustainable and profitable future for the construction sector. https://lnkd.in/eDG7i39q

♻️ World First: 90% of Boola Katitjin’s Building Waste Recycled! < UNK> According to Murdoch University, 🚧 More than 90% of construction waste generated from Boola Katatjin – one of Australia’s most awarded projects for 2023 – has been recycled and, in many instances, upcycled. 🔍 Key Insights: 1️⃣ Massive Timber Build: Boola Katatjin, the Southern Hemisphere’s largest mass timber building, used over 2,100 tonnes of timber and 1800 individual mass timber pieces. The project, delivered by HESS TIMBER involved intricate assembly akin to a giant puzzle. 2️⃣ Innovative Waste Management: Following the build, local business Instant Management Bayswater sorted through vast volumes of materials for recycling and repurposing. Researchers are now using AI and robotics to pinpoint construction materials for future projects, enhancing the efficiency and safety of recycling programs. 3️⃣ Educational Impact: Students in Murdoch University’s Environmental and Sustainable Systems Engineering program are learning firsthand how construction waste can be sorted and recovered for reuse. This hands-on experience is integral to understanding and implementing the principles of the circular economy. 🗑️ Construction waste makes up the largest share of Western Australian landfills. Murdoch University has pledged to become fully circular by 2030, aiming for carbon neutrality and zero waste in landfills. Boola Katatjin is a case study in sustainable design and the circular economy. 📚 Murdoch University’s 2023-2030 strategy emphasises the importance of social, environmental, and technical competencies to embrace a circular economy. The $135 million Boola Katatjin project, designed by Carey Lyons and supported by local design firms, exemplifies sustainable construction practices. 🔗 Learn more about construction waste and innovative recycling methods: https://lnkd.in/gDcDzXQw 🗣️ #questionforgroup: How do you see the role of AI and robotics in enhancing construction waste management and recycling?
