Building Resilience Through Reuse brings together the people shaping the future of construction, from policy and design through to deconstruction and materials reuse, this is your chance to connect across the full value chain.

Building on three successful Reuse Summits (2023–2025), this year’s event goes further, welcoming professionals from operations, finance, manufacturing, procurement and beyond. If you want to understand where the industry is heading and how you fit into it, you won’t want to miss this.

Aligned with ASBP’s Reuse Now campaign, the event is designed to accelerate the reuse of construction materials and help you play your part in creating a resilient, resource-efficient, low-carbon future.

Bring a colleague: We’re asking delegates to #BringABuddy—invite someone from another discipline, part of the supply chain or wider network who wouldn’t usually attend a circular economy event. For the benefits of a circular economy to be maximised it needs to be adopted by the majority as a collaborative effort, this event is one of many endeavours to support our sector to scale adoption.

What you'll gain

Broader perspective: engage with a wide cross-section of the construction industry

Real-world confidence: see how reuse is already happening

Practical next steps: accelerate adoption of circular strategies to build a more resilient construction sector

Why reuse, why now?

Reuse helps cut carbon and reduce waste, while also improving supply-chain resilience in an increasingly unstable global environment.

Circular economy thinking is now firmly on the agenda in policy and business leadership.

Demand is rising quickly: in a recent industry survey, 86% of respondents said that less than 20% of their projects required reuse elements in 2020; by 2025, more than half said at least 50% of projects required some reuse.
