Circular Construction
Circular construction focuses on minimizing waste and reducing embodied carbon by reusing, refurbishing, and recycling building materials. This approach contrasts with traditional linear construction models, which often involve extracting new resources and generating significant waste. By adopting circular principles, such as designing for disassembly and using reclaimed materials, the construction industry can lower embodied emissions and promote resource efficiency. Circular construction supports the transition to a more sustainable and regenerative built environment.
