The Final Conference of the FurnCIRCLE project took place on 12 June 2025 in Udine, Italy, in the framework of the EFIC Furniture Days 2025 — an event that brought together representatives from across the European furniture industry to exchange on market trends, sustainability priorities, and geopolitical challenges facing the sector.

The newly released report D5.2, Recommendations for Furniture Sector Stakeholders, presents ten strategic recommendations to drive systemic change across the sector. Developed within the FurnCIRCLE project, the report addresses critical cultural, financial, and technical barriers impeding circular economy (CE) adoption.

A new report, Circular Economy Skills, Knowledge, and Competences Needs in the Furniture Sector, presents key insights into the capabilities required to accelerate the transition to a Circular Economy (CE) in Europe’s furniture and woodworking industries.

Is your furniture company truly circular?

A new online self-assessment tool developed under the FurnCIRCLE project is now available to help companies in the habitat sector measure and improve their circular maturity level. Developed by AMBIT – Living Spaces Cluster, FEDERLEGNOARREDO, EFIC - European Furniture Industries Confederation, and with technical assistance from Nutcreatives, the tool is free to use and is designed to support businesses in their transition toward more sustainable and circular models.
