Rip out. Reuse. Repeat.
But what happens when you’re done? If the industry’s made it easy to buy and install materials, this same infrastructure should be used to reclaim and recycle them. We help you complete the circle and keep materials valuable forever.
Takeback, taken seriously.
You might have heard of ‘takeback’. Essentially, it’s the process of returning and recycling materials after they’re ripped out. Lots of companies claim to do it, but sadly, not many follow through. We’re passionate about making takeback actually happen, so we’ve given it the time and space it deserves.
We work with Material Rescue to return + reclaim surfaces by:
- Taking back samples, part sheets and off cuts of our materials and packaging
- Developing new materials from reused surfaces
- Supplying used materials to makers to buy
How takeback works:
Do more than refit, Rescue.
Created by Surface Matter's founders, Material Rescue ↗ goes beyond takeback, working with clients, designers and makers to create opportunities to extend the lifecycle of finished pieces with circularity services, including:
- pre-loved furniture, worktops and finished pieces available to buy or rent
- repair and refurbishment works
- adaptive reuse, storage and logistics
- circular workshops and consultancy
