Project Manager's Guide to Material Reuse Commercial Buildings (July 2024)
- Developed by: Hennepin County, MSR Design, Center for Sustainable Building Research, Doors Unhinged
- Description: "This guide is for owners, architects and contractors looking to integrate circularity into the design, construction and operation of buildings by utilizing reclaimed materials and by implementing deconstruction. A number of guides and reports address the topic of deconstruction, but as an industry we cannot focus exclusively on deconstruction. To close the loop and create a circular economy, owners and architects must include reclaimed materials in new designs."
State of the Circular Workplace (2023)
- Developed by: Green Standards
- Description: "This report is our best effort to capture exactly where the circular workplace is now. To do this, we have engaged a diverse coalition ranging from multinational corporations to innovative startups to industry associations to independent consultants. All agree that circularity has to be much bigger than recycling. All have made significant progress toward circular workplaces. And all agree there is much, much more to do."
