Circularity In Design - How Manufacturers are Closing the Loop on Material Waste
Sustainable approaches that prioritize resource efficiency,
Sponsored by Ecore USA
This course provides an introduction to the concept of circularity in design and construction from the perspective of a manufacturer. It explores sustainable approaches that prioritize resource efficiency, waste reduction, and the reuse of materials throughout the lifecycle of buildings. The course covers key principles of circular economy, such as designing for longevity, adaptability, disassembly, and the role of materials in creating a regenerative built environment. The content is structured to enhance architects' and designers' understanding of circular practices that can improve the sustainability and resilience of the built environment.
At Ecore, we are driven by this question: Can a floor do more? We believe the answer is YES! We are building our company and the products we offer based on the simple notion that floors should elevate beyond current expectations. We engineer performance well beyond industry standards related to acoustics, ergonomics, and safety.
