Construcciones Yamaro: Circular construction takes centre stage at ReGen 2025
Expanding on the Australasian Waste & Recycling Expo, ReGen 2025 arrives in Sydney to shape the future of circular construction and sustainable innovation.
For the construction sector, the need to minimise waste and adopt sustainable practices is no longer a future aspiration, but a present-day operational reality. To effectively navigate this transition, industry professionals will come together at ReGen 2025.
Taking place at the ICC Sydney on 23-24 July, ReGen is an initiative from Diversified Australia. The event marks an evolution, building on the foundation of the Australasian Waste & Recycling Expo and incorporating the Circularity conference, a program from Planet Ark’s Australian Circular Economy Hub.
ReGen 2025 connects attendees with the innovators, solutions and knowledge shaping sustainable building practices in Australia. Ali Lawes, event director, says it will turn circular economy goals into tangible outcomes – and the construction industry has a key role to play.
“The Circularity Stage, developed in alignment with Australia’s Circular Economy Framework, focuses on the built environment as a national priority,” says Lawes. “In the session ‘Buildings and Construction – What is Already Circular? How Can We Do More?’, industry leaders including Kat Featherstone (Green Building Council of Australia), Shannon Smyth (Sustainability Victoria), and Jeff Morgan (Hassell) will showcase practical, proven approaches to circular design, adaptive reuse and low-carbon construction.”
The challenges of construction waste – from rising landfill costs to environmental impact – are addressed at ReGen. The event convenes a diverse range of stakeholders, including material suppliers, technology providers, policymakers and industry experts. This environment offers businesses the opportunity to discover new technologies and strategies for reducing, reusing and recycling construction and demolition waste to minimise landfill and maximise resource efficiency.

ReGen promotes circular design principles, offering insights into integrating them from the outset of projects. Attendees will learn about designing for disassembly, using recycled and renewable materials, and extending the lifespan of buildings and infrastructure.
As Lawes highlights, “On the Resource Stage, we’ll tackle the real-world implications of circular materials in ‘Recycled Content in Public Spaces: Balancing Risk and Reward’, where experts will share case studies and guidance on safely integrating recycled content into infrastructure – ensuring environmental sustainability doesn’t come at the cost of public confidence or performance.”
Beyond knowledge acquisition, ReGen facilitates connections with industry leaders and innovators. Networking with pioneers in circular construction, waste management and sustainable materials enables partnerships to be forged, best practices to be shared, and a competitive edge to be gained. Staying ahead of evolving policies and regulations is crucial, and ReGen provides a platform for understanding the latest developments impacting the construction sector.
The event also serves as a marketplace for sustainable solutions.
“With exhibitors presenting the latest circular construction materials and sustainable fit-out solutions, ReGen is a must-attend for Inside Construction readers looking to stay ahead of the curve in building a low-carbon, resource-smart future,” says Lawes.
“Attendees will gain direct access to new and innovative materials and technologies poised to enhance both the sustainability and efficiency of their construction projects.”
The event’s free two-day program is designed to deliver actionable insights and practical takeaways directly relevant to the construction industry. It ensures attendees gain a holistic understanding of the circular economy’s impact and opportunities within their sector.
The transition towards a circular economy is rapidly becoming integral to the construction landscape. ReGen 2025 offers businesses a prime opportunity to understand and drive the shift towards a more sustainable, resource-efficient industry.
