Milliken & Company has partnered with Reusefully to provide a current overview of the landscape of circularity and reuse in the fit-out and interiors market. Providing data and insights in Europe and beyond together with the challenges and opportunities for reuse within fit-out.
The report has combined research and case studies together with qualitative interviews with key stakeholders involved in this field, including informative references and links for further reading.
This report covers Introduction to fit-outs and interiors – an important and fast-growing market, explores emerging trends for interiors in 2025, and analyses the challenges and opportunities facing the sector. It examines the environmental cost of fit-outs, including CAT A and CAT B fit-outs – amplifying waste streams, and considers reuse and carbon, the costs of reuse, and making the circular economy work for fit-outs, with focus on using material audits to drive reuse, typical items for reuse from a materials audit, and extended producer responsibility – examples from France. The report also addresses the role of certification schemes, circularity developments at European level, innovations in shifting from supplying a product to supplying a service (including Optima Glass, Orak Carpet Reuse, and Cycle Up Reuse from Construction sites), the growth of reuse platforms and marketplaces, storage and reuse hubs, warranty and re-certification, designing for future reuse, material passporting, and concludes with a vision for greater reuse supported by case studies.
