April 2026 Webinars: WLCA of Buildings & Carbon Neutrality

Circular Ecology are pleased to announce two new free webinars for April 2026, offering practical guidance on two important sustainability topics:

• Whole Life Carbon Assessments of Buildings: What You Need to Know
• An Overview of Carbon Neutrality: Measure, Manage, Offset, Improve

We invite those interested in exploring the benefits and applications of a whole life carbon assessment (WLCA) of a building and how it can help with attaining BREEAM Mat 01 LCA credits, and organisations seeking to achieve carbon neutrality on their products, company, or construction projects.

Each webinar includes time for live Q&A, and may be of particular interest to sustainability professionals, marketing professionals, infrastructure clients, and anyone involved in emissions reporting or net zero planning.

Both webinars are free to attend, but spaces are limited. You can register via the links below.
