Developed in partnership with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and Circular Leaders Group, the playbook outlines practical steps for developers, designers, contractors and insurers to bring more materials back into circulation and reduce the amount sent to landfill.
As the built environment sector faces mounting pressure to reduce emissions and construction waste, consultancy firm Arup has released its Reuse Playbook — guidelines for the industry on “a more circular approach” across both new-build and retrofit projects.
This comes as construction consumes around half of all raw materials extracted globally, says Arup in its May 7 press release, with new buildings “equivalent to the size of Paris” erected every week.
