How Will Innovation Support The Growth Of Circular Construction?

Circular construction is the practice of reusing and reappropriating buildings and building materials to ensure they are reused, adapted and rebuilt for as long as possible. Doing this reduces waste, overreliance on certain resources and emissions.

This is only the start. Once circular construction has been more widely adopted, it will be more than just the reuse and recycling of buildings and materials, it will ensure every new development employs genuine foresight. Will the design guarantee long and sustainable use? Could the building be easily adapted for different needs in the future? Could the building materials used in the construction be reused elsewhere if/when the building has been demolished? Are these materials naturally produced and easily recyclable so that we don't exhaust crucial natural resources or negatively impact the environment?
