Adapteo CSO Lina Wiles on the trade-offs of leading sustainability at a circular construction firm
"This business model has been around for decades. It’s really smart and it really works."
In an industry defined by permanence – by concrete poured for decades and buildings meant to stand for generations – Adapteo does something counterintuitive: it builds to move.
Classrooms, clinics, offices and worker housing are delivered in modular form, rented out, then taken back, refurbished and redeployed somewhere else. Nothing is meant to be static. Assets circulate.
