WCMT Fellowship Report - Building Community Capacity in Construction and Demolition Waste

In 2019 I was awarded a Winston Churchill Memorial Fellowship to undertake a study tour of organisations in the USA and Canada that are active in deconstruction, to understand the underlying conditions, operational factors, and regulatory demands that are successful in keeping deconstructed material in the circular economy. Due to travel restrictions, I was finally able to undertake this study tour in May 2022.

I visited and met over 30 diverse organisations, from social enterprises, businesses, and government and non-government organisations across the USA, Canada, and, subsequently, England.

 

The key learnings from this study tour reveal a compelling case for building capacity among organisations active in construction and demolition (C&D) waste.
