Building the Future: The Potential of Steel Reuse in Construction

Join us for the closing event of DISRUPT II, a groundbreaking initiative focused on unlocking the untapped potential of steel reuse in the construction industry.

As one of the most resource-intensive materials, steel is commonly recycled but rarely reused, missing out on significant environmental and circular economy benefits. Through collaboration with key players in the demolition industry, including the Institute of Demolition Engineers and Cleveland Steel and Tubes Ltd, DISRUPT II has tackled the critical barriers that have limited steel reuse. This event will showcase the project's achievements, including the development of new sector guidance and a pioneering material reuse platform. Discover how DISRUPT II is paving the way for a more sustainable future in construction by ensuring a consistent supply of reclaimed steel, contributing to the industry’s journey towards net zero. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with the experts leading the charge in sustainable building practices!
