The Scottish Ecological Design Association is hosting a focused session on the near-term potential of biobased materials and offsite production in UK housebuilding.

Dr Katherine Brookfield will present findings from the SHELTER project, which has been working directly with industry to understand the factors that support or limit wider uptake of biobased approaches.

Patrick Daly will introduce work from Circular Reno, an ambitious programme developing modular biobased systems for retrofit, including early demonstration projects in social housing.

This event offers clear and grounded perspectives at a time when Europe is examining how natural materials can be scaled across construction with confidence.
