The reuse of furniture and everyday objects is now entering an advanced structuring phase, facing increasingly technical challenges. Stakeholders must industrialize product diagnostics, refurbishment, and traceability to secure quality and reduce operating costs. The growing scarcity of “good-quality” reusable items requires optimizing preservation-oriented collection, reverse logistics, and multi-source supply. Compliance requirements (safety, durability, fire standards, professional uses) call for adapted methodologies to ensure reliable reintroduction to the market.
The emergence of the Digital Product Passport, the harmonization of reuse criteria, and the rise of responsible public procurement are opening up new frameworks for action. However, the economic equation remains fragile: absorbing labor-intensive operations, pricing according to actual condition, developing hybrid models (leasing, second life, repair), and integrating digital tools are becoming key levers to scale up.
Taking part in the Reuse Economy Expo allows you to benchmark your own models against the innovations and constraints of other reuse sectors, helping you refine technical and economic solutions. It is also an opportunity to play an active role in the co-construction of a shared foundation of methodologies, standards, and common tools—essential for the development of a true reuse economy.
