ASBP Webinar on Material Reuse
The natureplus UK partner organisation ASBP is inviting for a Webinar "CISL Entopia Building – Material learnings and reuse" at Thursday 29th September 2022, 12:00-13:45 local time or 13:00-14:45 CEST.
The Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL) needed a headquarters that reflected its own values, so it set about a deep green retrofit of the Entopia building, proving along the way that the most sustainable building is probably the one that already exists. The 1930s former telephone exchange in central Cambridge, used for offices since the 1990s has been refurbished to the Passivhaus EnerPHit standard and BREEAM Outstanding, and is aiming for WELL Gold certification.
Discover material reuse stories from the recently completed Entopia Building. ASBP and CISL will be joined by guest speakers to share success stories and lessons learned. Hear about the use of bio based and low carbon materials, altering glazing in a conservation area to help achieve the standards, the innovative PV array, and product and steel reuse.
Programme:

Background:
ASBP to launch ‘Reuse Now’ campaign calling for greater resource efficiency in the construction sector
At our September event we will launch a new campaign to encourage greater reuse of building materials within the construction industry and accelerate the transition to a more resource efficient, circular economy.
The campaign builds upon the ASBP-led DISRUPT project, which includes project partners Cleveland Steel & Tubes, ISG, National Federation of Demolition Contractors and Grosvenor, and which is exploring the innovative reuse of structural steel in construction through the adoption of new circular business models.
‘Reuse Now’ is supported by lead sponsor and long-standing ASBP patron member Cleveland Steel and Tubes, with additional support from circular economy experts Reusefully. Planned activities for the campaign include knowledge-sharing webinars, new reuse case studies, freely available and topical briefing papers and factsheets, regular blogs and thought pieces, and networking events.
