Cirkularfabriken is a social enterprise working for a more sustainable society by combining circular furniture management with social inclusion.
Sweden is dealing with more resource waste and social exclusion. Each year, companies and public organisations throw away large amounts of furniture that could still be used. Meanwhile, many people have trouble finding work and ways to contribute. These problems are linked and need new solutions.

Cirkulärfabriken addresses these challenges by promoting sustainability through circular furniture management and social inclusion. The organisation helps companies and public bodies extend the lifespan of their furniture by offering recycling, repair, cleaning, renovation, and resale services. By managing furniture at every stage, Cirkulärfabriken helps save money and protect the environment by cutting waste and reducing climate impact.
This business is for organisations that want to be more sustainable and use their resources wisely. Cirkulärfabriken offers a complete solution by managing logistics, checking quality, and ensuring furniture is reused, either within the same organisation or sold to others.
A core part of Cirkulärfabriken’s mission is social sustainability. The organisation creates job training, internships, and employment opportunities for people who are far from the labour market. This approach strengthens individuals’ confidence, breaks down exclusion, and opens new paths to work.
The vision is clear: to take care of both people and materials, creating measurable social and environmental benefits. By combining circular economy and social inclusion, Cirkulärfabriken demonstrates that sustainability can be profitable, humane and future-proof.

Circular furniture management is not just an environmental initiative – it can also be a platform for people to enter work, gain new opportunities and grow. When sustainability includes both materials and people, it becomes truly transformative.
