The ACAN Circular Economy group have been focusing on how circular economy principles can be applied within the context of the UK construction industry. This 9-part event series addresses the key challenges and opportunities of realising CE approaches at each of the RIBA stages, from strategic definition in Stage 0 through to the building in use at Stage 7. To close the circle, we’re also going to discuss a proposed ‘Stage 8’ to address building demolition and reuse.

We’ve found experts from across the industry to dig down into the nitty gritty of how to incorporate circularity in UK construction in a meaningful way.
