Circular Economy Construction: Train the Trainer Event

The Circular Economy Construction Retrofit Training programme aims to empower Scotland’s construction workforce, helping meet energy efficiency and cost savings targets, whilst ensuring sustainable retrofit skills, practices and circular economy principles are in place.

Delivered by Zero Waste Scotland in partnership with The Verdancy Group, this phase of the training programme will deliver in person workshops and training in partnership with BE-ST at the state-of-the-art BE-ST factory in Hamilton.

Join us on the 16th of June 2023 for a day of immersive learning exploring topics such as an introduction to the circular economy in construction, rethinking procurement, design for manufacture and assembly and refurb and design for disassembly.
