Our buildings and infrastructure can only become sustainable if the sector shares, leases, reuses, repairs, refurbishes and recycles materials and products. A new report maps out out how to get there.

Wonderful to hear @CityReuseDepot on @BBCRadio4 talking about ReUse. Thanks for the name check for @suezUK and the work that we are doing with @greatermcr. Last year we reused around 600 tonnes of material and gave a 2nd life to 75k items, raising ยฃ320k for local charities.
