The session
This session will lead to an understanding of the concept of circularity in design and construction. Attendees will learn to identify and explain the three key principles of circularity, define a ‘Circularity Score’ and identify high performing products. An understanding of how to apply this knowledge to projects will also be gained.

Weathertex
100% Australian owned & manufactured, Weathertex products are made from Australian hardwoods sourced from PEFC-certified state forests and privately owned forests/plantations. Containing no nasty chemical additives, Weathertex products are guaranteed not to rot, split, or crack for up to 25 years and they contain no artificial glues or binders, no formaldehyde and no silica.

Weathertex’s unique ‘better than zero carbon footprint’ means that there is more carbon stored in the timber used to make Weathertex than is produced in its manufacture and all Weathertex sustainability claims are independently certified. Weathertex provides the ideal solution for architects, designers, builders, developers and homeowners seeking attractive, environmentally conscious, high-quality timber cladding and lining solutions at an economical cost.

With diverse technical experience across a range of commercial and residential construction projects, Andrew works with architects, designers, developers and builders to achieve sustainable cladding & lining design solutions which represent quality, beauty, performance and value.
