In this CPD you will learn about these factors and what designers can do to lessen the impact of their own practice on the environment via several key initiatives that are making the sample ordering and management process a lot easier These include: Zero Avoidable Waste in Construction initiative (ZAW), ‘Return A Sample’ programs and exploring new technologies such as sample aggregation platforms and sample recycling services.
Learning outcomes:
- Understand the scope of sample waste being generated by the construction industry and design firms
- How to correctly recycle samples
