Treading softly: The best way to achieving a zero carbon footprint?

Chaired by Rab Bennetts, co-founder, Bennetts Associates, the RIBAJ in association with AGC Glass Europe, Armstrong Ceilings, Mosa, MechoSystems and Shaw Contract Group, will host an afternoon conference that will help define and explain Cradle-to-Cradle and provide a context for its use in the built environment, interior design, and architectural sector. The afternoon will also investigate and outline the Cradle-to- Cradle business model and learn from those early adopters of the model and see how it works in other industries.
