Title: Circular Economy Building Products – what do they really look like?

Summary: Recycling doesn’t make something circular, it’s just one small piece of creating a circular product; 1) that has a use and has end of life solution, 2) a collection or take back programme 3) that can then be reused or recycled, remanufactured into a new product. There are lots of companies now saying they have a circular product, however a number of them are relying on others to create that circle. Paul will talk about saveBOARD’s journey to date, not only from bringing the technology to New Zealand, but the effort required to put in place the systems and processes to ensure our product is a circular economy solution.
