Webinar: Office furniture in the circular economy

Furniture often remains in public institutions for many years. This makes it all the more important to prioritise durability, reparability, reusability and resource-efficient materials right from the procurement stage. But what opportunities does the circular economy offer in practice? And how can public sector clients take these requirements into account in their procurement processes? In the webinar on 16 December 2026, you will learn how circular furniture concepts can be implemented, what role reuse and refurbishment play, and which approaches are already being successfully applied in practice in the municipality of Mötz. Practical examples and insights from procurement, administration and professional practice will demonstrate how the circular economy can be implemented in practice when it comes to furniture. Experts from the local authority, the refurbishment sector and the Circular Economy Competence Centre will share their views.
