Next Construction Goes Circular® conference in Lahti, Finland, on October 8, 2025.
High-level international event on circular economy
The Construction Goes Circular® conference attracts industry representatives, scientific community, policy makers, and other professionals from Finland and abroad to hear world-class presentations on practical solutions for circular economy in the construction industry. It also facilitates great networking opportunities between participants. Register to Construction Goes Circular® here.
Why should I attend?
The conference brings extra value for investors, construction companies, contractors, precasters, architects, structural designers, members of the scientific community, policy makers and other professionals interested in circularity in the construction business.
Why it’s important?
The building industry is globally responsible of almost 40% of the total energy use and 30% of the amount of waste. The concrete business has a particularly great responsibility as we account for a large proportion of this.
The conference offers insights, information and platform for discussions on how we are able to be part of the solution rather than the problem.
Where do we meet?
We wish to meet you LIVE after all the virtual meetings and conferences. The second Construction Goes Circular® conference takes place in Lahti, the leading environmental city in Finland. We will meet at the Sibelius Hall, an event and congress center that once was an industrial facility.
