On Tuesday March 21st, Prof. Corentin Fivet gives a talk to the UKRI Interdisciplinary Circular Economy Centre for Mineral-based Construction Materials. Invited by Prof. Ornella Iuorio and Dr. Bruno Fernandes (University of Leeds), he will present recent findings by the Structural Xploration Lab related to the reuse of load-bearing pieces in new buildings. The talk is titled "Waste no more – Optimum reuse of structural elements" and is given online.
About the ICEC-MCM:
The Interdisciplinary Circular Economy Centre for Mineral-based Construction Materials is a four-year funded project by UKRI and EPSRC as part of the NICER Circular Economy Programme The ICEC-MCM is a joint initiative led by UCL, with the University of Leeds, Loughborough University, Imperial College London, Lancaster University, the University of Sheffield and BGS and more than 40 industry partners across the construction industry.
The ICEC-MCM research aims to provide national and global leadership as well as capacity for transformative change for circular processes and practices over the whole construction mineral value chain. The centre is exploring how better design and manufacturing of products and structures made from mineral materials (such as aggregates, cement and brick) can help the UK’s construction industry to do more with less, reduce waste and lower costs.
