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.

Our May Supply Chain Market Update covers these topics in detail and also presents the potential consequences they can have right now and in the future.
From the embodied carbon associated with construction materials to the operational carbon produced throughout a building’s lifecycle, the design and construction industry has the opportunity to make a big impact when it comes to carbon.
As the life sciences sector has exploded in recent years, developers have jumped at the opportunity to repurpose commercial office space and other buildings for research and office space. But another type of life sciences facility is emerging—and bringing with it a new set of real estate requirements and expertise.
As architects, engineers, owners, and construction managers embrace innovation at all stages of the project process, the industry has also begun to reevaluate how these stakeholders partner to deliver top quality projects, on time and on schedule.
