Greener Infrastructure Week events
This year ecologiQ is shifting gears and would like to invite you to celebrate National Recycling Week at our inaugural Greener Infrastructure Week.
Held between 11-15 November, this week-long event includes networking, webinars, panel discussions and site tours designed to leave you feeling inspired, challenged and excited for the future. The majority of sessions will be held online and are free to attend.
Sessions will build on the important conversations started at our 2022 and 2023 conferences, with a focus on celebrating the individuals, organisations and projects who are leading the way in building purposely greener infrastructure.
We’ve secured some of the brightest minds across the infrastructure and sustainability sectors who will take a deep dive into a range of topics including:
- How modular design can help reduce waste and project costs
- The role recycled materials in decarbonising infrastructure
- How collaboration can create a thriving marketplace for sustainable materials
