Zero Waste Week, held annually on the first Monday of September, is a global campaign to reduce landfill waste, preserve resources, and protect the environment. This year, STO Building Group’s Sustainability team joined the movement with a special three-part Building Conversations podcast series exploring material circularity in the AEC industry.
From design through demolition, our teams are working with partners across the U.S. to reduce waste, repurpose materials, and push the industry toward a more circular future. Hosted by Jennifer Taranto, STOBG’s Vice President of Sustainability, each episode features conversations with clients, designers, and manufacturers on what’s working, what’s changing, and how to build a zero-waste mindset from the ground up.
