Michigan Materials Marketplace: May Roundtable

Take Your Seat at the (Repurposed, Reused, and Refurbished) Table: Furniture Circularity for Organizational Moves, Adds, and Changes

Across Michigan, organizations are undergoing major transitions—downsizing office footprints, consolidating facilities, embracing hybrid work, or renovating campuses. But during these “Moves, Adds, and Changes” (M/A/C) cycles, one critical question arises:

What happens to the materials left behind?

From high-quality furniture and fixtures to surplus construction materials and outdated electronics, space transitions generate valuable assets that too often end up in landfills. This roundtable will bring together professionals managing these challenges every day to explore how we can align space planning with circular economy principles—and turn organizational change into opportunity.

About the Event
Rheaply, NextCycle MI and EGLE invite you for a 90-min session focused on practical reuse strategies for surplus materials during space transitions. We’ll spotlight the challenges and successes organizations face when consolidating offices, renovating campuses, or adapting to hybrid work—and uncover how to make reuse easier, more collaborative, and more impactful.
