The first ‘International Conference on Construction Circular Economy’ will be hosted at the University of Manchester on 8 and 9 July.
Together with Arup’s Graeme DeBrincat, British Glass and GTS under the FISSAC banner will present a view of glass waste in the construction sector and current best practice to drive more glass to re-cycling.
They will be alongside world-renowned academics and construction industry experts looking at tackling technical problems and how to make recycling a prominent part of the construction industry.
