ROMULUS Reuse Initiative, City of London Launch

Talk

Monday 18 November 2024
15:30 - 18:00

Hosted by the City of London Corporation, learn more about the ROMULUS Reuse Initiative, a landmark public/private initiative designed to accelerate circular economy in London’s built environment, followed by drinks and networking.

City of London Corporation are sponsoring ROMULUS, a landmark public/private initiative designed to accelerate circular economy in London’s built environment. ROMULUS will bring together the key contractors, clients, architects and consultants working in both the Square Mile and Greater London to share building audit data and encourage circular economy.

Project data will be shared on an exchange format provided by Upcycela that is accessible to all members, and patterns of reuse and recovery will be traced. Members will work together by drawing on their expertise and capabilities to help address existing challenges to the creation of a viable market. City of London and participating local authorities will oversee the pilot to learn more about how circular economy processes work and identify how these can be supported with targeted policy and guidance, as well as how to implement the approach on their own portfolio.

Central government representatives from the Department of Energy Security & Net-Zero & DEFRA will also be examining the implications for national circular economy strategy in construction.

Join the City of London on Monday 18 November to learn more about the initiative, hear speakers from government and industry, and for an opportunity to network following the Q&A.
