The Resilient Decommission: A Reuse-First Playbook for Facility Leaders

The latest figures show U.S. office building vacancy rates hitting 20% with workspace utilization stubbornly low at just 54%. Add in this year’s intense mix of business pressures—stock market volatility, persistent supply chain disruptions, and rising operational costs—and it’s clear why facilities leaders are urgently seeking smarter, more sustainable solutions for both managing decommissions and procuring low-cost furniture.

Workspace decommissioning isn’t going away, it’s accelerating. But there’s a better way to handle it. Meet the reuse-first approach: a game-changing strategy helping resilient businesses adapt, reduce waste, and maximize value. And at the same time, organizations furnishing new office spaces can use the reuse-first approach to save on procurement budgets and avoid supply chain delays.

Join Rheaply and IFMA as we unpack the playbook for reuse-first decommissioning and procurement. By viewing this webinar, you will learn:

  • What a reuse-first approach to decommissioning involves and why it’s vital for your organization’s resilience against rising operational costs

  • A clear, actionable framework for managing the lifecycle of your assets, especially furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E)

  • Proven strategies to maximize asset recovery value while ensuring minimal waste

  • Real-world insights from facilities leaders who’ve boosted their bottom line, enhanced community impact, and responsibly managed their decommissions
