Greengage have written an article for GRESB that discusses the circular economy and the challenges of its implementation.
The draft New London Plan has set ambitious objectives regarding the reduction of waste and implementation of the circular economy requiring new developments to produce ‘Circular Economy Statements’.
In the article, we explore an example (a major public realm refurbishment project in the City of London) of how we put circular economy principles into practice and the challenges faced to make making meaningful changes to the way in which we design and construct buildings.
