With the aim of cutting their CO2 emissions by 50% by 2030, reuse has become a key element of their sustainability approach. We sat down with Sönke Leve and Sandra Holmström to dive deeper into Fabege’s reuse efforts. Sönke, Fabege’s Sustainability Coordinator, is in charge of driving the company's reuse processes. Sandra Holmström, a sustainability specialist, plays a crucial role in shaping and executing Fabege’s overall sustainability strategy. Check out the video below for more insights.   > #### *"The demand for reused materials is only going to grow."* > > > > – Sönke Leve, Sustainability Coordinator at Fabege #### From pilot project to full-blown strategy In the video, Sönke explains how Fabege initially wanted to start using reused materials but couldn't find a market for them. That’s how the idea of creating their own reuse hub was born.   > #### *""We don’t have time to sit around waiting, so we're moving forward now.""* > > > > – Sönke Leve, Sustainability Coordinator at Fabege Sönke stresses the importance of not getting bogged down in lengthy pilot projects. Reuse is here to stay, and Fabege is committed to making it a priority. The first steps included identifying reusable items and making sure the necessary spaces and systems were in place. As part of this work, Fabege used Palats to survey their existing properties and material stores. Sandra, Fabege’s sustainability specialist, highlights this as a crucial step in the process.   > #### *"Once we knew what we already had, we realized the huge potential to scale up our reuse efforts."* > > > > – Sandra Holmström, Sustainability Specialist at Fabege ![21032024-SON02185](https://www.palats.io/hs-fs/hubfs/21032024-SON02185.jpg?width=1500&height=1000&name=21032024-SON02185.jpg) #### The Reuse Hub – The Heart of the Strategy Fabege’s reuse hub in Solna Business Park acts as a central storage facility for reusable materials. Covering 2,000 square meters, the hub is an essential part of the strategy, providing space to store materials that can’t be immediately reused. Items like doors, glass partitions, kitchen fittings, and ceiling tiles are inventoried, stored, and quality-checked before being put to use again. Palats’ platform plays a key role in Fabege’s reuse strategy, offering a structured and user-friendly way to digitize their reuse processes. By having everything in one place, from inventory to booking and sales, Fabege can easily keep track of their reused materials and seamlessly integrate them into their daily operations. ![21032024-SON02224](https://www.palats.io/hs-fs/hubfs/21032024-SON02224.jpg?width=1500&height=1000&name=21032024-SON02224.jpg) #### Success Stories A great example of the strategy in action is Fabege’s office project in Solna Business Park, where they reduced CO2 emissions by 48 tons by using reused materials. The office also won the title of “Sweden’s Most Beautiful Office,” proving that reuse can be both functional and aesthetically pleasing. By reusing both building materials and furnishings, the project not only minimized its environmental impact but also saved significant costs.   Want to learn more about Fabege’s reuse strategy?
