Building a Reuse Ecosystem: Industry Updates and Interactive Workshop

Building and material reuse holds immense potential to cut carbon emissions and minimize impacts compared to new materials. In today’s green building industry, prominent success stories and rapidly advancing quantification tools are demonstrating the full value of materials reuse like never before. It feels like the industry is poised for great change that will lead to the scaling-up of material reuse on more projects in more areas. In this session, panelists will share case studies, best practices, and takeaways from scaling-up reuse on real projects. Following the inspirational presentations, the audience will transition into a guided interactive workshop where participants will learn to identify challenges and overcome obstacles to scale reuse in their home regions. This session will leave you with a new appreciation of the potential of reuse to meet carbon and other environmental goals, and empower you with a toolkit to take action.
