Right now, someone on your team is moving, renovating, or emptying a space. The plan covers construction, new furniture, equipment, and the timeline. But it rarely accounts for what gets torn out along the way, or what that waste costs. Materials that could have been reused are demolished. Furniture and equipment are purchased new when existing assets could have been repurposed. None of it may appear as a line item, but it still costs money, time, and carbon.

That waste is increasingly avoidable. Reused materials are easier to source, resale and take-back channels have expanded, and embodied carbon is moving from a voluntary goal toward a reporting requirement in a growing number of places.

Join us to hear real-world examples from companies navigating these challenges, including how they are making decisions, finding new uses for existing materials, adapting design approaches, and what they would do differently the next time around.
