UK sees first circular construction hub
The hub is the first phase for a Circular Economy Village in Silvertown in the London Borough of Newham.
It is designed to ensure construction waste is recycled and reused instead of being sent to landfill.
The Royal Docks hub is being delivered in collaboration with charity Tipping Point East and Newham Council. It is supported by the Mayor of London and Mayor Rokhsana Fiaz OBE.
It will enable the sustainable delivery of new homes in the Royal Docks by promoting innovative construction techniques that accelerate the transition to low-carbon construction.
This large scale material reuse should significantly reduce the embodied carbon in new developments and is estimated to divert at least 950t of materials from landfill over five years.
