Full Circle

Sample Upcycle Program

To reduce waste and give obsolete samples a second life, we created Full Circle, a nationwide donation directory of trusted organizations across the United States that are eager and equipped to repurpose unwanted samples from the design community.

Our Mission

Samples Deserve a Second Life

Every year, thousands of wallcovering, fabric, and trim samples are discarded from showrooms and design studios across the country, contributing to unnecessary landfill waste. We believe these materials still hold tremendous value and can make a meaningful impact in communities while making upcycling more accessible.

Full Circle connects design professionals with verified nonprofits, schools, and community centers that can put these samples to purposeful use, from art education programs to housing initiatives and everything in between.

How It Works

Help us combat waste and close the circle in three easy steps.

1

Browse the Directory

Search our curated list of partner organizations by location. Each listing includes address and contact details.

2

Contact the Organization

Reach out directly to an organization for details on what they accept and arrange your sample drop off.

3

Arrange Sample Delivery

Deliver your samples in person or ship them to the organization. Many partners offer convenient drop-off locations near major design hubs or offer prepaid shipping labels.
