In the next 10 minutes globally:

• We will extract 50,000 tonnes of iron ore.
• 5 million bricks will be produced.
• The construction, demolition, and excavation industry will generate 38,000 tonnes of waste.

And each year, the global construction sector emits around 10 gigatonnes of CO₂ – the equivalent of 30 million Boeing 747s.

The ASBP Reuse Summit 2025 focuses on the link between reuse, risk mitigation, and resilience, highlighting practical, strategic pathways to reduce embodied carbon, strengthen supply chains and future-proof business. Attendees will hear from forward-thinking practitioners and thought leaders who are reshaping how we approach design, demolition, and material reuse. The event features a keynote from Will Arnold, IStructE and presentations with interactive panels sessions on:

• Risk & Resilience – Moving Circular Economy out of the sustainability silo
• Addressing the Perceived & Actual Risks of Structural Reuse
• People & Behaviours – how to create the best chance of success for reclamation and reuse
