Building a Circular Ireland

A circular economy roadmap for the built environment sector was launched in May this year by the Irish Green Building Council (IGBC) as part of an EPA funded project. The ATU Build360 research group were delighted to be involved in the preparation of this important document, which explores opportunities across the value chain with a focus on valuing our existing building stock, planning for resource efficiency, designing for circularity, closing the materials loop, and changing existing business models.
