Wednesday 4 February, 11am-12pm
Join us for a construction and demolition waste webinar with expert speakers, discussing current research and case studies.
- New Zealand Construction and Demolition Waste Baseline and Tracking Methodology Report - In mid 2025 a Ministry for the Environment commissioned report was released, that quantified the scale of construction waste disposal in Aotearoa. Ministry for the Environment representatives will speak to the key findings of the report and how it can be used to drive down C&D waste to landfill.
- European Circular Construction initiatives - Europe is often held up as a beacon in product stewardship and circular initiatives. After a recent study tour Casimir MacGregor shares some interesting case studies and discusses how New Zealand compares to international counterparts.
