The true cost of construction waste
A half-day morning workshop (bacon or vegetarian rolls included) brought you in partnership with Resource Efficient Scotland and the Scottish Building Federation.

As part of the Resource Efficient Scotland programme, we are running an event for businesses operating in the Scottish Construction Sector, seeking to understand the “True Cost of Waste” and identify new and innovative ways to reduce the volume of waste created.

Why attend
This event will provide a unique opportunity to hear first-hand from construction sector experts who are tackling the issue of waste head on and gain an insight into the free support and funding available from Resource Efficient Scotland.

• Hear from guest speakers working in the sector who are delivering best practice;
• Understand and share knowledge on how construction waste can be tackled in Scotland;
• Network with industry peers during the breakout sessions;
• Participate in facilitated discussions around the future of support for the Construction sector in Scotland.

Who should attend
Preference will be given to small and medium sized designers, contractors, manufacturers and installers and demolition companies.
