    Circular Economy Week, hosted by ReLondon showcases and celebrates the work being done to accelerate London’s transition to a low carbon circular economy. A week of inspiration taking place alongside Circular Cities Week, and aiming to accelerate the revolution of stuff, and a great opportunity to build connections, broker collaborations, deepen knowledge and focus on action. Join us as we celebrate and collaborate throughout the week at:

    Designing for Change: Modularity, Materials and Circular Futures 

    An engaging session exploring how modularity in design and thoughtful material choices can accelerate the transition to a circular economy. Through case studies, panel discussion and live examples, we’ll demonstrate how design decisions create measurable impact — reducing waste, enabling reuse, and driving value for brands, designers and the built environment. With practical insights demonstrating how global real estate can drive systemic change by embedding reuse into projects and procurement.

    Circularity isn’t just about avoiding waste - it’s about creating value, resilience, and flexibility, and how modularity, material intelligence and cross-industry collaboration can shape a more sustainable future.

    Material Matters: Unlocking value from end of life 

    When a building is complete, what really happens to the materials left behind?

    This often overlooked stage of the circular economy is so important when it comes to reducing waste, preserving value and lowering emissions. Yet, in practice, recovering and reusing materials is full of challenges.

    As part of Circular Economy Week 2025, Tarkett invites you to their London showroom where you’ll hear from a panel of experts discussing the end of the circularity loop and how they are breaking ground with take back schemes and reuse.

    Q+A
    Most makers worth their salt find ways to use every last bit of material- door handles chopping boards, sink covers, light pulls, coat hooks and more - zero waste by default. Card
