This event, in collaboration with ASBP, is part of a series of events over 10 days across Europe, Building a Transparent Supply Chain - Resource Efficient, Healthy and Low Carbon Building Materials, convened by natureplus. 

About this event

Grosvenor’s UK property business is working on an innovative framework to reduce the embodied carbon of projects through circular design strategies.  A leading example of material reuse, Holbein Gardens is one the first projects in the UK to reuse structural steelwork salvaged directly from a demolition site. The project is Grosvenor’s first net zero scheme, setting a new benchmark for sustainable workplaces through the transformation of a 1980s office building. The building also utilised Cross Laminated Timber floor slabs supplied by Eurban, to enable a complete low embodied carbon solution.

The project addresses and resolves complex issues currently surrounding the reuse of structural steel such as the cost of salvaging, programme constraints and the availability of reusable stock. Using reused steel offers significant carbon savings estimated to be 96% of new steel, as well as reductions in other environmental impacts. Grosvenor state that this has lowered the overall embodied carbon for the building to 267.9kgCO2e/m2, of which 67.5kgCO2e/m2 is attributed to the structure.

This project will be discussed in detail by our speakers and is one of 10 case studies that ASBP is preparing, to showcase reuse across the built environment as part of their DISRUPT project funded by Innovate UK.

ASBP's Reuse Now Campaign

The campaign builds upon the ASBP-led DISRUPT project, which includes project partners Cleveland Steel & Tubes, ISG, National Federation of Demolition Contractors and Grosvenor, and which is exploring the innovative reuse of structural steel in construction through the adoption of new circular business models.
‘Reuse Now’ is supported by lead sponsor and long-standing ASBP patron member Cleveland Steel and Tubes, with additional support from circular economy experts Reusefully. Planned activities for the campaign include knowledge-sharing webinars, new reuse case studies, freely available and topical briefing papers and factsheets, regular blogs and thought pieces, and networking events.

ASBP has been exploring the topic of material reuse for nearly 10 years, with past activities including the Re-Fab House feasibility study, research with University of Cambridge exploring the barriers to structural steel reuse, and more recently, a sold-out Reuse Summit.
Sponsorship opportunities are available for organisations seeking to support the campaign in its aim of enabling a more resource efficient built environment. For more information, please contact Richard Broad, Projects & Communications Manager, ASBP - richard@asbp.org.uk.
