Towards a circular economy
The BBP is continuing its work to fully understand the waste outcomes of tenancy fits outs and test systems and approaches to deliver more of a circular economy solution. This networking event presented ground-breaking research on the topic, global supply chain best practice and the results of one member’s de-fit trial. Watch the presentations and the industry’s views on the emerging circular economy around fitout materials below.
