An event organised by Singapore Green Building Council & supported by JTC on Monday, 11 May 2025 from 2.30pm to 5.15pm at Matrix Auditorium, Biopolis, 30 Biopolis St, Singapore 138671.

Circular strategies are gaining traction as the built environment seeks practical pathways to reduce carbon emissions, minimise waste, and improve resource efficiency. With Singapore committed to its Zero Waste Masterplan and net-zero emissions by 2050, the case for circularity has never been more urgent. By rethinking how materials are produced, used, and recovered, the industry can move towards a more resilient and future-ready built environment.

 

The annual JTC-SGBC Seminar 2026 brings together researchers and industry practitioners to explore emerging circular strategies and solutions to transform the construction value chain. Through four focused presentations, participants will gain insights into innovative approaches. This includes carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) to convert captured carbon dioxide and incineration residues into construction materials, and the upcycling of waste glass powder as a cement replacement in concrete. The session will also explore circular management of solar photovoltaic panels at end-of-life, as well as the concept of material passports and buildings as material banks to enable greater material recovery and reuse.

 

Join us to explore how the built environment can move from a linear model of consumption to a circular one, where buildings truly last.

 

APFM will be awarding 2 CPD hours for this event.
