Business in the Community (BITC) partnered with the University of Exeter to run the Circular Fit-out Lab, funded by the UKRI CE-Hub and JLL. The project enabled companies that commission fitout projects for offices and retail units to share solutions to adopting circular economy principles in their projects, and accelerate change in their organisations.

About the Circular Fitout Lab

The Lab followed an action-learning process identifying common barriers faced when incorporating circular economy into fit-out projects, particularly internal ‘organisational’ barriers which prevent circular solutions from being adopted, as well as actions that can be taken to overcome them. Organisations that participated in the Circular Fitout Lab were Burger King UK, Derwent London, Informa, JLL, Seasalt Cornwall, and The Midcounties Cooperative.
