Material Rescue Social
But what happens when you're done?

Construction and demolition generate around 38% of the total waste in Europe, most of which is still capable of reuse.

We're leaving real value on the table.

And, a typical retail fit-out is renovated every 5-7 years, resulting in thousands of tonnes of perfectly usable materials sent to landfill, low-grade recycling or incineration.

Rethink waste

You design. You change. We take care of the rest.

Material Rescue recovers fit-out materials for refurb, resale or reuse across stores. Whether you want to refurbish a single item of furniture to reuse or you’re looking for greater circularity, we can work with you to find simple, sustainable solutions that give your materials a second life, while protecting the uniqueness of your brand and keeping valuable resources in circulation for longer. Recycling and incineration may cut waste from going to landfill, but present a different set of challenges that kicks the problem down the chain. Reuse cuts emissions, cost and waste and can significantly lower carbon impact.
