This free webinar will introduce the importance of using and reusing materials in the most productive and sustainable way over their entire life cycles.
Date and Time: Thursday, August 23, 2018, at 1:00 – 2:30 pm ET.
Background: The built environment touches all aspects of our lives, encompassing the buildings we live in, the distribution systems that provide us with water and electricity, and the roads, bridges, and transportation systems we use to get from place to place. Creating all these spaces and systems requires enormous quantities of materials. As competition for natural resources continues to intensify due to global population and economic growth, the availability of materials will be subject to increased uncertainty.
