From Austin Resource Recovery –

Building materials are a big deal. Building booms create competition not only for labor and equipment, but also for construction materials—affecting supply lines, timelines and bottom lines.

Designers, builders, remodelers and recycling service teams can address these concerns and support the Circular Economy by promoting greater resources productivity, reducing waste and avoiding pollution.

The conference will feature an innovative product showcase, resource-efficient case studies, and town hall discussions on construction material hot topics and a tour of indoor air quality labs. See tentative program below.

June 30, 2017, 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

(Registration and refreshments beginning 7:30 a.m.)

UT-Austin J.J. Pickle Research Campus, Commons Learning Center 
10100 Burnet Road, Bldg. 137, Austin, TX 78758

The registration fee is $35 and includes lunch. Tickets can be purchased here.

Find more information including program agenda here.

Approval for up to 5.5 CEUs for AIA and 4 CEUs for GBCI will be requested.
