The ASBP in partnership with the RICS World Built Environment Forum discuss deconstruction – a key to unlocking a circular economy in construction. Join members of our reuse team, and ASBP members. John F. Hunt as we discuss how deconstruction plays a key role in enabling circularity, facilitating the reuse and recycling of materials and components at the end of a building’s lifecycle.
This approach minimises landfill waste and significantly reduces embodied carbon, both essential pillars of circularity. It is estimated that construction and demolition waste accounts for nearly one-third of global solid waste generated, making deconstruction and disassembly a critical strategy for sustainable building practices.
Achieving effective deconstruction requires careful design and logistical planning, including consideration of transportation and storage, structural assessments, materials data and environmental impacts.
Our panel of experts will explore how deconstruction contributes to advancing circularity, the strategies needed for success, and real-world examples of outstanding deconstruction projects.
