EU Circular Talks | What role do secondary materials play in new constructions and in buildings renovation?

The ECESP Leadership Group on Construction and Infrastructure organizes a new workshop in the field of #EUCircularTalks, an exchange concept that aims to encourage stakeholders to interact and discuss the circular economy topics in the platform.

An expert panel will discuss how effective the construction system is in using secondary materials from the supply chain and the advantages of that in terms of CO₂ emissions and embodied energy using secondary materials.

The panel will be moderated by Gaetano Bertino, project manager at alchemia-nova, one of Houseful’s partners
