Circular Economy Solutions | ASBN Spotlight

Overview

A circular construction industry derives more value from components and products, by reusing them over and over again, reducing waste, cost, and embodied carbon. This ASBN Spotlight event will showcase local solutions being developed to help enable the circular economy in the building industry.

Outcomes

Nick Roach and Adam Jenkins will give us insight on a Cloud BIM Data Platform for the life cycle management and reuse of building components being developed collaborative between UniSA and Arup. Ben Golotta will present an overview of Precycle, which offer a multi-staged process to manage recycling on construction sites, with the aim to sort recyclable materials at its source before it becomes contaminated and therefore no longer viable as a recycling/repurposing resource.
