Material Responsibility From Cradle to Cradle With Anders Lendager 🏗️

If material producers took responsibility for the full lifecycle of their products, it could pave the way for a more sustainable building sector by strengthening producer responsibility, reducing waste, and promoting sustainable material use.

This week we return to an episode from the Assemble! podcast series - made in collaboration with koozarch.

And what better time, as we are still accepting applications for our fellowship with HouseEurope! exploring the intersections of architecture and legislation.

Listen, as we delve into the implications of a law proposal that could potentially push the building industry in a more sustainable direction by changing the legal framework.

On the podcast you will meet:

Anders Lendager: is an architect and the founder of Lendager. Since its founding, the architecture studio and consultancy has been championing circularity within the building industry, establishing itself as a front runner within sustainability and circular economy.

Kasper Guldager Jensen: is an architect and developer. Following his role as co-owner of 3XN architects and director of the firm's innovation company GXN, in 2021, he co-founded the real estate company Home.Earth where he helps develop buildings with Denmark's lowest CO₂ footprint for new construction.

Jakob Thaysen Rørbech: is an experienced professional in the field of construction products regulation and sustainability. Jakob excels at combining technical insights with commercial and political realities to drive a greener and more resource-efficient industry. Jakob currently holds the position of Senior Adviser at DI Byggeri, where he focuses on product regulation and the transition to the CPR-24 with all its specificities

Martin Scharff: is the Vice President of Global Sales at Fritz Hansen, an exclusive, international design brand whose timeless collection unites world-famous classic and contemporary furniture, lighting and accessories. For decades, Fritz Hansen has offered repair services and ReNEW is the next step in their longstanding commitment to providing furniture that can be passed down for generations.
