Group 5d - Construction Materials & Assemblies

Working Group 5d – Construction Materials & Assemblies (WG5d) is a representative network of construction materials suppliers with a demonstrated interest in and commitment to decarbonisation. They facilitate a collaborative relationship that interprets demand side needs and provides a collective voice for suppliers.

This work includes knowledge sharing across masonry and bricks, asphalt and bitumen, glass and piping. It includes concepts of the circular economy and creation of high value recycled polymers for industry use.
