Energy / Interiors Focus Stage
Interiors Focus
Interior office refits take place on average every 3 years and hospitality every 5-7 years causing a huge amount of furniture to enter landfill. Furniture also often uses non-recyclable single use plastics, foams and fabrics.
Key members of the supply chain at the forefront of the linear to circular transformation discuss the hierarchy of furniture reuse:
- Design for disassembly and repair
- Refurbishment and reuse of existing furniture and developing the reuse supply chain
- Introduction of recyclable materials in designs
- Use of low-carbon materials in manufacture
- Furniture leasing
