The Impact: <p>When reuse systems are not structured, materials are often lost, underused, or discarded due to a lack of access or organisation. Establishing clear circulation systems increases reuse and significantly reduces waste.</p>
Details
Reusable offcuts, remnants, part-used materials, and surplus stock are separated from waste and kept visible through clearly organised systems.
Workshops support design and fabrication approaches that reduce unnecessary material consumption, such as planning assemblies carefully, minimising overspecification, and encouraging the reuse of existing stock before new purchasing.
