The built environment consumes up to 50% of all raw materials, creates 30% of all waste and is responsible for 39% of global carbon emissions.  In fact 11% of all global Co2 is from embodied or up front carbon within the materials, production and construction process itself.

This means that decarbonising the sector is one of the single most most effective ways to mitigate the climate breakdown.

What solutions exist today that turn our existing 'waste' streams into valuable resources?  By engaging communities and creating value out of waste these organisations are contributing to the cleanup and creating a sustainable business model.
