MINERVA HOUSE - London, United Kingdom

The Minerva House refurbishment is a major project to modernize and extend the existing 14,000 m² office building on the south bank of the River Thames. The project focuses on sustainability and adaptive reuse, with the aim of achieving carbon neutrality, BREEAM Outstanding and WELL Platinum certifications.

29 tonnes of glass from the deconstruction phase were collected, recovered and transported by river barge, saving 20 tonnes of CO2 emissions.

Morrisroe, a leading specialist in demolition and preparatory work in the UK, worked with Saint-Gobain Glass UK as part of the Glass Forever program to integrate an efficient glass recovery model into their workflow. This initiative is helping to improve remanufacturing practices and has a positive impact on the flat glass circular economy. Paul Moody, Operations Director at Morrisroe, highlighted the significance of the joint project.
