The public sector purchases large volumes of furniture every year. At the same time, fully functional furniture often sits unused, is forgotten, or replaced prematurely. Despite ambitious sustainability and resource-efficiency goals, reuse remains the exception rather than the norm. In the project “Digital Policy Lab for Circular Furniture Flows,” RISE, Axfoundation, and partners explored how the public sector can move from isolated reuse initiatives to a more systematic and measurable approach. The project demonstrates that digital solutions can play an important role – but only when integrated with governance, accountability, financial incentives, and everyday decision-making.
