Resource depletion is an important factor in using the earth’s resources, and a major driver of polluting emissions. VIP is keen to implement circular principles that either extend or close the project life-cycle loop, making more efficient use of resources and therefore contributing to SDG 12. In the short term, VIP targets to improve the visibility of material use and offer options for circular construction methods. Furthermore, documentation of which materials are used in a particular construction maximises their reuse potential. The use of material passports and circularity assessments can support decision-making about which circular design principles to implement in the design phase of a project. VIP also continues to reduce the construction and office waste created in its production processes.
