BIFMA Learning: Squaring Off on Circularity
September 24 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Join Us Thursday, September 24 | 12:00 PM ET
Circularity in commercial furniture is increasingly being judged not by intentions, but by outcomes.
Join BIFMA on Thursday, September 24 at 12:00 PM for a panel discussion examining where circular strategies are working in the marketplace—and where they fall short.
The conversation will bring together perspectives from across the commercial furniture lifecycle to explore the realities of sustainable design, including:
-Designing products with a “vintage-ready” second life.
-Understanding product life cycle environmental impacts.
-Navigating the complexities of reuse logistics.
-Balancing durability, cost and long-term value.
-Managing furniture to maximize value while minimizing waste.
Meet the panel:
Steve Kooy, BIFMA, Director Safety & Sustainability — Moderator
Lisa Adams, HKS — Principal
Joshua Belczyk, Keilhauer — Sustainability Officer
Kristi Zook, State Farm Insurance — Senior Interior Designer
Whether you’re a designer looking for practical solutions, an owner seeking to maximize your asset investment, or a manufacturer navigating the challenges of circularity, this discussion will offer real-world perspectives and actionable strategies.
Join us September 24 for the conversation.
