The linear model of manufacturing, consuming, disposing, and buying new products is unsustainable. Even when made from renewable materials, there is often no plan for a product at the end of its life. And since the supply chain generates 80%+ of carbon emissions, it's a linear model that needs critical reform.
Join us to hear an expert panel led by Bureau Group address the issues of supply chain waste and reuse in workspace design. They will reveal how designers and specifiers can help clients make meaningful changes from the outset of a project towards reducing carbon emissions and hitting net-zero targets.
An eco design talk in collaboration with Bureau Group followed by drinks & networking.
Attend live, in person at the #DesignPopUp exhibition in Platform, Glasgow
