Unlocking Material Reuse: The Value of Collaboration

Unlocking Material Reuse: The Value of Collaboration

16 September 2026 12:00 pm - 12:45 pm Retrofit-agenda

Implementing material reuse requires the construction industry to learn new ways of collaborating, pushing boundaries of the traditional project structures. Effective collaboration, following practical steps, is essential to identify and implement reuse opportunities.

Resolving onsite reuse strategies should be the first objective for project teams, but when reuse on-site isn’t feasible, how do we work across projects to enable the circular economy? Can competitors become collaborators to deliver greater value for all and improve efficiencies beyond the project scope?
