This is one of the Hubs and Action Groups Breakout Sessions, taking place on Day 2 of 2025 GlobalABC Annual Assembly. Registration link will be shared soon.

Venue: Room 4, Deutsches Hygiene-Museum, Dresden, Germany

This session will be structured in two sections:

Section One
The session will kick off with a welcome and introduction, followed by an insightful discussion on the whole lifecycle approach to buildings. This section will include presentations of key tools and resources developed by the Materials Hub’s working groups over the past year, featuring:
● National Circularity Assessment Framework
● Bio-based Materials Compendium
● Overview of the working groups’ work plans for the upcoming year

Section Two
This section will focus on a specialized training session on circularity in the built environment, developed by the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT), a co-lead of the Circular Built Environment working group within the Materials Hub. 

The Materials Hub objective is to shape a common vision, leverage advocacy and synergies to accelerate transformation, promote, develop, and pilot circular solutions to overcome barriers and reduce impacts, as well as facilitate the exchange of best practices and innovative ideas in education programs.
