CPD: Designing For The Next Life

Rethinking Flooring for Circular Commercial Interiors

Our Designing for the Next Life CPD explores how we translate circular ambition into practical, commercial solutions.

⏩ Refurbishment cycles are accelerating.
🌎 Sustainability targets are tightening.
♻️ Circular ambition is growing.

But unless we rethink how flooring is designed and installed from the outset, we risk repeating the same linear mistakes.

By rethinking interiors from the very beginning – considering installation, use, adaptability, passporting and end-of-life – we can reduce waste, preserve value and keep materials in circulation for longer.

Avoid tomorrow’s waste with today’s specification.
