Re.Form is Jacobsen’s takeback initiative grounded in circular design principles. We facilitate the return of unwanted flooring, helping to reduce construction waste ending up in Aotearoa landfills. Participation is free. High-quality post-use carpet tiles are donated to Habitat for Humanity for re.use wherever possible. When donation is not viable, products are sorted and returned to suppliers to be re.formed into new flooring. It is not a perfect system. Infrastructure for full circularity is still developing. But progress requires action and we are committed to finding a way.

Circularity is a journey, not a headline. Through Re.Form, we have reclaimed over 40 tonnes of flooring since 2020. We continue to explore local and regional solutions to close the loop across more product categories. Some suppliers already have fully circular processes in place. Others require innovation and collaboration. We are committed to continuous improvement and to supporting architects and designers who want to make more responsible material decisions.
