The Zero Avoidable Packaging waste in construction (ZAP) Toolkit is now available to download asbp.org.uk/project/zap-proj…
The toolkit has been developed to reduce and optimise packaging, and divert the tide of single use packaging products away from incineration and landfill.
Congratulations to #ChristinaPicken!
The next winner is a project that has completely redesigned the Sustainable Materials Innovation Hub lab practices to align with their research ethos, encouraging sustainable practices.
