SUMMARY:The Circular Economy – A Pathway to Net Zero
DESCRIPTION:The built environment consumes 40% of all resources globally\, generally following the take-make-waste linear economy. \nBy contrast\, the circular economy in the built environment is a systems-based industrial framework designed to tackle global sustainability challenges\, such as climate change\, waste\, and biodiversity loss. In a circular economy\, products and materials are reused\, repaired\, recycled\, or repurposed to create new products\, contributing to a more sustainable and resource-efficient economy. \nA circular economy is a crucial component of the pathway to net zero. It’s being used by several companies\, including Desso\, Interface Carpet\, IKEA\, and Patagonia. It’s also been a long-standing pathway for William McDonough’s Cradle to Cradle concept for architectural design. \nFurther\, the latest U.S. Acts (IRA\, CHIPS\, and IIJA) include circular economy goals as a way forward to: \n\nrecirculating critical materials\nfederal buy clean initiative\nextending product lifecycles\nreducing greenhouse gas emissions\ncreating new industries and jobs\navoiding unnecessary disposal of products and materials to mitigate emissions associated with embodied carbon\n\nIn this webinar\, attendees will learn about the elements of the circular economy and why it is a resilient and timely system that is good for business\, people\, and the environment. \n\nLearning Objectives\n\n\n\n\nThe difference between a linear economy and a circular economy.\nThe shift from product lifecycles to material lifecycles.\nHow the circular economy establishes links between sustainable resource management and digital technologies\, such as BIM\, IoT\, Sensors\, Asset Management\, and Digital Twins.\nHow a shift in design and earlier intervention can create new innovative approaches and business models in the built environment.
