The circular economy is an economic model that seeks to minimise waste and promote the efficient use of resources by keeping them in use for as long as possible.  In the context of construction, the circular economy involves designing buildings and infrastructure to be durable, adaptable, and easy to disassemble and reuse. It also involves using materials that are renewable, recycled, or biodegradable to minimise the environmental impact of construction. CLS wood contributes to the circular economy by being a renewable resource that can be recycled or reused at the end of its useful life. Additionally, the use of CLS timber in building construction can promote sustainable building practices and reduce waste.
