Speed Networking - The Role of Circular Economy: Manufacturers x Contractors

Closing the Loop from Production to Installation 

Explore how circular economy principles transform the manufacturer-contractor relationship. This session brings together product makers and builders to discuss practical strategies for material reuse, waste reduction on job sites, and reverse logistics. Discuss challenges like packaging waste, material take-back programs, and how contractors can provide valuable feedback to manufacturers about product durability and end-of-life considerations. Connect with partners who are ready to move beyond linear "take-make-dispose" models toward regenerative building practices.
