This event has now ended

Overview

The circular economy is increasingly important to geotechnical contractors and designers.

This talk is based on the European Federation of Foundation Contractor's circular economy guide. It focuses on a number of main topics relevant within the geotechnical space:

  • What is the circular economy and, specifically, what does it mean for geotechnics?
  • Why should geotechnical companies care about the circular economy?
  • What are the upcoming legislation and trends we should be aware of?
  • How can we practically contribute to a more circular economy?

Case studies will be used to illustrate how others are using the approach, and questions are welcome at the end of the presentation.
