CIRCULAR ECONOMY IMPLEMENTATION
As part of our pre-deconstruction audits, we will provide a tailored Resource Tracker that will assist in design, procurement, monitoring and reporting requirements linked to circular economy. Normally a Resource Tracker is created once a workshop has been held with the project team following the audit, to establish opportunities for on- and off-site reuse and recycling.
We can work with the project team to implement the findings of the audit, including procurement advice and further investigations as required to convert reuse and recycling potential into reality.
A good example of recent reuse and rehoming is shown below, where lights from an initial strip-out of an office building in London were reinstalled and reused at a community hub.
The Resource Tracker provides a tool to keep track of potential end users, and the amount and condition of material available and how it can be distributed.
As part of the implementation, we can provide ongoing monitoring.
Using the Tracker and working with the project team, we can find homes for materials that may not be wanted in the new development or look to provide
storage and logistic solutions. This is through our partnerships, material exchanges, community/social reuse, remanufacturing etc.
We also have strategic alliances and agreements in place with most of the online material reuse marketplaces that are currently in existence including Maconda’s Romulus platform, Excess Materials Exchange and so on, many of which feed into
material passporting systems.
We can also liaise with the logistics, transport and storage providers, and look at the creation of
onsite reuse hubs on larger sites and for masterplanning schemes.
