Hackney’s Circular Built Environment Conference

Hackney’s Circular Built Environment Conference

Join us for a free focused, action-oriented conference dedicated to exploring circular economy principles within Hackney’s built environment.

The construction sector is a major consumer of resources, while being responsible for a huge proportion of waste (59%) in the UK. By shifting how we design, build and use our assets, we can unlock massive cost savings, boost social value and accelerate our journey to net-zero carbon.

This is a vital opportunity for Council colleagues and external partners within this area to collaborate on Hackney’s net-zero and social value goals.

This conference aims to

• educate on the circular economy in the built environment,
• showcase inspiring approaches to identify internal opportunities and realise cost-saving, social value, and carbon savings,
• generate ideas for implementation in Hackney,
• establish a lasting network in Hackney and beyond.

What to expect

A detailed agenda will be shared in the near future, but you can anticipate the day will be structured around policy, inspiration, networking, and action.
