"We're throwing away 1,000 Boeing 747s every day in construction waste"

Going circular in construction is not just about saving the planet, it also saves on the bottom line, given the growing cost of waste disposal and the hidden costs of over-ordering in construction. In this podcast, May Al-Karooni, the inspirational founder and CEO of Globechain, talks about how she spotted the need for a reuse marketplace and sold the idea of circularity to the construction and built environment industry. Globechain diverts construction waste from retail and commercial refurbishments and gives them to charities as raw materials. Support our podcast and also get the magazine Hosted on Acast.
