Lucy will share how locally recycled construction and demolition waste is being converted into one of the world’s lowest carbon facing bricks by Kenoteq, developers of the pioneering K-Briq® and K-Slip™. Developed at Heriot Watt University together with one of Scotland’s leading waste management companies, 2 million certified K-Briqs and K-Slips have started to roll off the new commercial-scale production line in East Lothian to bring new ways to enhance the embodied carbon performance, sustainability and aesthetic of projects. Kenoteq will present the story behind the award-winning K-Briq and K-Slips, sharing their circular economy approach, projects and technical and sustainability specifications.
About the speaker
Lucy Black joined Kenoteq in 2022 to head up the K-Briq’s commercialisation and market entry, having supported the company for nearly 10 years during its R&D and spin-out phases during her work at Scottish Enterprise and Built Environment-Smarter Transformation (BE-ST, formerly Construction Scotland Innovation Centre). Having worked across the construction sector for over 15 years, Lucy’s market and stakeholder contact network and business development skills have driven awareness building, demonstration and early stage projects together with a strong project pipeline as the now BBA-certified K-Briq enters the market at a commercial scale across the UK and internationally.
