Made to evolve, not expire.

By reusing, relocating, and rethinking how we build, we create spaces that are better for society today and ready for whatever's coming tomorrow. ​

Where purpose meets proof.

Circularity is not a pilot, it’s our core.

Instead of tearing down and starting over, we relocate, reuse, and repurpose modular spaces to meet changing needs with less waste and more impact.​

Adapteo's Circular Business Model shown in steps starting from Product development and production to refurbishment or extended life. The middle circle shows all the steps within the process of reusing Adapteo's modules again and again.
Reuse

Reuse

We extend the lifespan of materials and interiors by refurbishing, upgrading and reusing our modules across various applications. 

Production

Product development & Production

We design for circularity, energy efficiency and resource conservation, using renewable, low-carbon materials. Indoor production ensures quality, efficient resource use and minimal waste.

Planning-1

Planning

We team up with our customers to understand their needs and craft solutions that fit perfectly, built for both today and a more sustainable future.

Truck_Right

Delivery

Our delivery process is designed for efficiency, with low-impact transportation, minimal foundation work, and streamlined assembly.

UsePhase

Use phase

Our solutions are designed for energy efficiency and convenience, ensuring longevity and quality through smart design and dedicated service.

Dissassembly

Dissassembly

We carefully dismantle our modules so they can be refreshed, renewed, and used again.

Truck_Left

Transport

After disassembly, we streamline the transportation of our modules and materials to minimize emissions and get them ready for their next chapter.

Refurbished

Refurbishment

We refurbish our modules to give them new life, upgrading materials and interiors while keeping them aligned with the latest building standards. 

ExtendedLife

Extended life

After their rental lifecycle, our modules are sold, donated for further use, or responsibly dismantled and recycled. 

Setting a new standard with our Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).

To improve our circularity, we created a way to measure it.

Circularity matters because resources are finite, costs are rising, and buildings account for a third of global emissions. Until now, there was no clear way to measure how circular a modular building really is, or indeed our Space-as-a-Service business. To change that, Adapteo partnered with Arup to create the Circularity Index. It provides clear data on how much value we retain through reuse, recycled materials and smarter design. With the Index, circularity goes beyond ambition and  becomes measurable progress.

Making space for a more sustainable future.

  1. Year

    Our future adaptive strategy

    Adapteo laid the foundation for our future direction. We redefined our sustainability strategy to align with long-term goals, sharpen our impact, and support a more circular, resilient, and future-ready society. 

    Fleet Life Cycle Assessment 

    We’ve measured the full climate impact of our core fleet. The result is a clear, reliable baseline that helps us build smarter and more sustainably at every stage. 

  2. Year

    Fossil-free operations plan

    We’ve committed to running all operations without fossil fuels by 2030.

    A switch to renewable electricity

    Choosing clean energy sources sets the direction for how we want to move forward.

  3. We are here!

    Year

    SBTi target approval

    Our climate targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This means our goals align with the latest climate science and contribute to limiting global warming. 
    In progress

    Social impact plan

    Put our actions into words with a social value creation model so we can accurately measure the impact we’re making on society.

  4. Year

    Near-term Science Based Targets

    90% material recycling 

    Zero waste to landfill

    90% utilization rate

  5. Year

    Net-zero Science Based Targets 

    100% circular materials 

Innovative solutions that make all the difference.

Reused

Why choose reused?

It’s a smarter way to build with less resources and up to 96% lower embodied emissions.
Rental

Rental makes sense

Build only what you need, only when you need it. 
Solar

Solar power solutions

Add solar and reduce your carbon footprint from day one.
Climate

Efficient indoor climate

Design optimized to balance comfort and energy use.

In their own words.

To work for a company that has clear sustainability goals and a genuine commitment to social impact is extremely important to me. It's not really about modules, for me it's about creating opportunities for people to live, work and learn in flexible and adaptable spaces.

Daniella Nassimian — Building designer — Adapteo Sweden 

It’s great to have forward thinking clients like Adapteo who are open and committed to sharing their work to help advance the industry.

Sean Lockie — Climate Leader at Arup

It’s motivating to work somewhere that puts circularity first. At Adapteo we’re always looking for ways to do better, and it feels good to be part of a team that cares about people, the planet and the future.
