CIAT backs calls for Circular Economy Strategy

CIAT has joined over 50 leading businesses, trade associations and professional bodies, including Arup, UKGBC and the Society for the Environment, in calling on the Government to publish the delayed Circular Economy Strategy.

In an open letter to key Cabinet Ministers, coordinated by Green Alliance, voices from across the UK have warned that ongoing delays to the Strategy will “harm momentum towards a more resilient, resource efficient economy”.  

The Circular Economy Strategy was originally expected last October. It is key to unlocking policy and regulatory reform, which can enable widespread reuse of materials and components, lowering embodied carbon and helping to achieve a net zero built environment.

The full letter can be read on the Green Alliance website.
