Earlier this month, Dora Banda and Theo Simondetti of Reusefully attended CircularBuild2026 in London, hosted by Architects' Journal. The conference brought together circular economy manufacturers, architects, developers, consultants and contractors to explore how adapting existing buildings can work alongside low-carbon material supply chains and emerging technologies. Here are their insights and key takeways from the event.
Universities and further education providers have a significant opportunity to lead the transition to circularity and a net-zero future. As long-term owners and managers of complex estates, they make decisions that shape not only operational performance, but also material use, carbon impact and adaptability of buildings over many decades.
A new collaborative project funded under the York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority’s Carbon Negative Challenge Fund aims to drive reuse and materials sharing for the region by creating and promoting industrial symbiosis.
We are in the middle of a quiet revolution in how the design and construction industries think about materials. For decades, the story of a building or an office fit-out followed a familiar arc: specify new, install, and when the lease runs out or the brand refresh arrives, strip it all out and dispose of it. That model is no longer tenable — environmentally, economically, or ethically. Reusefully's Theo Simondetti explains how creative reuse is becoming a powerful tool available to designers.
The Scottish Government launched its Circular Economy Strategy towards the end of last month, with the built environment identified as one of five areas of priority.
How can planning policy influence and support the development of the circular economy in construction and what actions can municipalities take to support circularity and reuse? At the end of January, Reusefully hosted a webinar on this topic with contributions from more than 100 attendees who joined from across the UK, Denmark and beyond.
