Waste management and resource recovery remain essential to circular progress. The Department for Energy Security and Net Zeroâs recent review identified strong potential for circular construction strategies and endâofâlife reuse in construction to deliver quantifiable carbon savings. Yet challenges persist in the rollout of Simpler Recycling due to legacy property structures. Strengthening these backâend systems ensures green building products reâenter value chains, supporting both circular economy objectives and sustainable urban development. The collective impact across policy, design, education, and technology confirms that the carbon footprint of construction can be reduced dramatically when the sector treats sustainability as an integrated, measurable discipline rather than an optional ambition.
Whole Life Carbon is a platform for the entire construction industryâboth in the UK and internationally. We track the latest publications, debates, and events related to whole life guidance and sustainability. If you have any enquiries or opinions to share, please do
