Infrastructure in the South West is increasingly shaped by the transition towards a more circular economy, where materials are reused, waste is minimised and whole-life value is considered. For example, this includes approaches such as reusing construction materials, designing assets for longevity and reducing carbon across the lifecycle of infrastructure.
Embedding these principles supports more sustainable infrastructure systems while contributing to regional resilience and net zero ambitions. SWIP brings together insight and examples of how circular approaches can be applied across infrastructure planning and delivery in the region.
