POM West Flanders and Province of West Flanders signed the Flemish Circular Concrete Agreement together on 6 July. In doing so, both organisations are sending a powerful signal to accelerate the transition to a circular construction industry in West Flanders.

On Tuesday 20 June, 100 construction professionals discussed the use of innovative concrete mixes to achieve a sustainable construction industry. Location of the event: the Acasus site in Veurne, which will also be home to the new Circular Concrete Centre building and concrete lab in 2024.
