A free lunchtime webinar explaining how responsibly sourced timber fits within the Circular Economy agenda.
While timber is the ultimate renewable material, we need to know we can continue to meet future demand by ensuring we make the very best use of this valuable resource. Ensuring timber products and buildings last for their required design life, and that they can be reused or re-manufactured at the end of use, are key circular economy solutions.
Governments and NGO’s are also promoting the need to recycle materials as part of the solution to meeting net-zero carbon construction targets. By ensuring timber products meet the Circular Economy agenda, we can continue to incorporate these renewable, low-carbon materials into the buildings of the future and help increase the overall carbon storage in buildings.
This event is led by Charlie Law and will include:
- Background to the circular economy
- Timber place in a circular economy
- Importance of responsible timber sourcing in meeting Circular Economy goals
- How you can incorporate Circular Economy wood products into your designs
- What Circular Economy business models you could consider
