From everyone in the BuilderScrap office, we would like to wish our members and readers a very happy new year!  2010 has gotten off to an exciting and busy start already for us!  There is so much happening this year, here is just a taster of things to come! 

 Ecobuild 2010 – BuilderScrap will once again be exhibiting at Ecobuild.  Make sure to visit us on stand 448, as well as catching our seminar – details TBC!

Carbon Calculator – In conjunction with the Centre for Construction Innovation and Salford University, BuilderScrap is currently developing a carbon calculator to measure the amount of carbon our members are saving by using BuilderScrap to pass on their surplus building materials.  Launching Spring 2010 – watch this space!

The BuilderScrap Roadshow – The first BuilderScrap roadshow is scheduled for the North West Region in early Spring.  We are currently still in the planning stage, but details will be coming soon!  The Roadshows will give members and non members alike the opportunity to learn more about BuilderScrap and the concept of Reuse in the construction industry.

Continued Partnerships – Through 2010 and beyond, we plan to continue and grow our partnerships with influential and relevant organisations.  O2 are offering our members an exclusive promotion, and we are also working together with WRAP, BRE and Envirolink on a number of projects, to name but a few!

Team Expansion- We are delighted to be welcoming a new member of the BuilderScrap team in February, Mike Close.  Keep an eye out for his environmental blog posts!

This is just a taster of what’s coming up.  If you have any ideas or suggestions for BuilderScrap, please let us know!
