What is Circular Economy Week?

The ninth annual circular economy showcase.

Join the stuff revolution! Circular Economy Week is a week of events hosted by ReLondon and a diverse range of organisations – in London, UK and beyond – to celebrate and share progress towards a circular economy and low carbon, resilient and resource-efficient cities where everyone can thrive.

CE Week 2026 takes place during another turbulent year of geopolitical instability, global supply chain issues and extreme weather – moving to a circular economy feels more urgent than ever before.

Circular Economy Week is our opportunity to engage, connect and mobilise for a low carbon, resilient and resource-efficient economy where everyone can thrive – we hope you’ll join us!

Inside a Circular Fit-Out: A Working Session at GAIL’s The Firestation

Sustainability in hospitality design gets talked about a lot. Fewer people get to walk through a real site and see how the decisions actually played out, what got reused, what got specified differently, and what it cost.

This session takes place inside GAIL’s, a fit-out led by Reassemble that’s shortlisted for two awards at the British Institute Interior Design. David, co-founder of Reassemble, will walk you through the space itself: the material choices, the sourcing decisions, and the trade-offs that came with them.

You’ll then take part in a live, collaborative workshop using the Circular Scorecard, benchmarking your own hospitality venue against the choices you’ve just seen in the room. It’s a quick but thoughtful, multiple-choice questionnaire that allows you to discover how your restaurant measures up against sustainable design and operational best practices. Upon completion, you’ll instantly get your personalised Circular Score, plus practical strategies to elevate sustainability in your spaces.

Reassemble will close with an open discussion on cost and durability, the questions that come up in every fit-out conversation but rarely get answered honestly.

NB: due to this being industry specific, tickets are reserved for people who work within a hospitality company (eg. operators, sustainability, property, founders).
