Circular Economy as it relates to Construction Sector: Discussion
11:00 am
Mr. P.J. Ryan:
Exactly, yes. That whole piece needs to be aligned with the insurance sector so that perfectly good materials can be reused. It does happen occasionally on projects where the owner is involved but in a lot of offices, for example, it is developer led and we do not know who the final tenant will be. You cannot really start reusing second-hand materials if there is an insurance or warranty issue.
