WASTE END OF LIFE TAKE CIRCULAR ECONOMY MAKE RETROFIT USE At DESIGN stage, prioritise energy efficiency, make use of passive design strategies, prioritise renewable energy generation and utilisation, facilitate water harvesting and regeneration of nature, and prioritise use of locally sourced, reused or alternative materials. Design for ease of maintenance, disassembly and deconstruction and ensure non-toxic material choices to allow future reuse and circulation. At CONSTRUCTION phase, low embodied carbon construction processes are utilised — such as modular construction — and higher performance standards are implemented around construction waste. The use of sustainable materials and products is a priority through all decision making processes. During the OPERATIONAL phase, buildings are well maintained — enabling a longer life of assets and their parts. Waste creation is minimised, and natural capital is restored and protected on site. < 17
