Designing a circular future: how materials and markets will shape the built environment

​How can circularity move from policy intent into real project outcomes? Join us for an engaging session exploring how materials, markets and design decisions are shaping the next phase of the built environment and supporting governments and organisations to deliver on net zero commitments.

​Through a short presentation and panel discussion, we’ll share practical insights into circular materials, emerging innovations and the commercial factors influencing their adoption. The conversation will focus on actionable ways to integrate circularity into design and procurement, while strengthening resilience and environmental performance - enabling projects to contribute meaningfully to net zero pathways.

​You’ll also have the opportunity to engage directly with material samples and prototypes from Arup’s Future of Making exhibition, bringing circular concepts to life and supporting more informed decision‑making.
