Summary
The webinar in the ASBP’s Reuse Now Series puts the spotlight on one of the world’s most used and most carbon-intensive materials: concrete. Building on the success of past sessions on glass partitions, below ground products and materials, MEP, and timber, this event explores how concrete can be transformed from demolition waste into a vital part of a low-carbon, circular future. Through case studies, practical know-how, and the latest innovations, we’ll explore how to give concrete a second life. Perfect for designers, specifiers, engineers, and builders aiming to create more sustainable, resource-efficient buildings.
