Circular Economy Statements

A circular economy is defined by materials being utilised at their highest value for as long as possible and are then reused or recycled leaving a minimum of residual waste. The end goal is to retain the value of materials and resources indefinitely with no residual waste at all. This is possible and requires transformational change in the way buildings are designed, built, operated and deconstructed.

All developments in the UK are now being encouraged to consider circular economy principles, with larger developments in London being required to submit Circular Economy Statements as per London Plan Policy S17.

SRE’s qualified sustainability specialists provide Circular Economy Statements recommending cost-effective and workable strategies relating to the design, construction and operation processes. This includes solutions to repair, refurbish, remanufacture or recycle materials to establish a closed-loop system minimising waste, pollution and carbon emissions.
