Timber and Circular Economy CPD by PEFC

Timber has increasing appeal for architects, designers and specifiers seeking sustainable and eco-friendly construction solutions. Our one-hour free CPD-accredited Timber and Circular Economy webinar offers essential training on how responsibly sourced timber fits within the Circular Economy agenda.

Why you need to know about responsible timber sourcing

While timber is the ultimate renewable material, we need to know we can continue to meet future demand by ensuring we make the very best use of this valuable resource. Ensuring timber products and buildings last for their required design life, and that they can be reused or re-manufactured at the end of use, are key circular economy solutions.

Governments and NGO’s are also promoting the need to recycle materials as part of the solution to meeting net-zero carbon construction targets. By ensuring timber products meet the Circular Economy agenda, we can continue to incorporate these renewable, low-carbon materials into the buildings of the future and help increase the overall carbon storage in buildings.

What you will learn from this CPD

• Background to the circular economy
• Timber place in a circular economy
