Last month at Facades+ Los Angeles, hosted by AN in collaboration with NBBJ, a roundtable brought together Buro Happold associate Kathleen Hetrick, Digne founder Sophie Pennetier, Eckersley O’Callaghan director Lisa Rammig, and Infinite Recycled Technologies president of business development Patrick Elmore. The discussion—moderated by NBBJ principal Margaret Montgomery—focused on how circularity is moving from theory to practice through material reuse and glass recycling. Across back-to-back mini-presentations followed by a Q&A, the speakers considered how material testing, local recovery systems, and policy incentives can extend the life of existing buildings, reduce embodied carbon, and cut waste.
