Tarkett’s Inspire Circular programme asks: are we on the cusp of a materials revolution?
The Inspire Circular Programme continues with its next event, designed to deepen knowledge and understanding of circularity among those working in architecture, design and the built environment.
Reimagining Materials for a Circular Future will take place at London’s Design Museum on Tuesday 14th October. Over the course of an afternoon, experts from global businesses, architecture and design agencies and material innovators will come together to explore how circular principles are helping to push us towards a materials revolution.
From radical breakthroughs and nature-based solutions, to the urgent pressures reshaping business right now, speakers will explore what’s working, what’s failing, and what’s about to upend the future of materials.
Hosted by Tarkett in collaboration with long-standing partner FranklinTill, the event promises candid insights, radical new perspectives and lively discussion - all aimed at equipping participants with the vision and tools to make circular design, materials and systems a reality in their own projects and businesses. With a spirit of collaboration and cross-industry partnership at its heart, the event will also offer opportunities for networking, connection and knowledge sharing among participants.
We’re at a pivotal moment where the materials we choose to work with can not only reshape our major industries, but have a real impact on the wellbeing of people and planet. By uniting creativity with responsibility, we want this next Inspire Circular event to inspire the bold ideas and collaborations needed to accelerate the materials revolution, and move us towards a truly circular future. — Thomas Leneveu, Vice President Commercial Business Unit, Tarkett EMEA
