While recent initiatives to reduce operational carbon have increased the relative importance of embodied carbon as part of a whole-life building assessment, operational carbon of new buildings still makes up most (around two-thirds) of the whole-life carbon emissions. The steel sector has always advocated the more meaningful lifecycle assessment approach of considering a cradle-to-cradle - or whole-life carbon - approach, which takes account of how, or if, a material can serve a meaningful purpose beyond simply being reduced to hardcore for example, after its original use has ended.

Steel has exceptional circular economy credentials as it is typically either
reused or recycled.
Can other materials state the same??
