EuroShop 2026 Reveals | The Current State of Sustainable Retail Store Design and Circular Materials
Sustainable Retail Store Design Is No Longer an Idea, but a Design Requirement
Sustainable Retail Store Design is no longer a special initiative in the global retail industry.
It is rapidly becoming a fundamental requirement for creating viable commercial spaces.
Sustainability has moved beyond being discussed as a concept or an added value.
It is now a practical requirement that encompasses design, material selection, construction, and long-term operation.
As a result, the criteria for material selection in commercial environments have fundamentally changed.
The key question is no longer simply whether a material is environmentally responsible.
What truly matters is whether it naturally functions as part of the space and can be used continuously in everyday operations.
What EuroShop Visitors Are Truly Looking For
Designers, interior professionals, fixture manufacturers, and material specialists visiting EuroShop share a common set of questions:
– Are there sustainable materials that can be integrated directly into commercial spaces?
– Are these materials designed for real-world implementation rather than experimental use?
– Are they intended for long-term, continuous application rather than one-off installations?
What visitors are seeking is not using an eco-friendly material once.
They are looking for realistic materials that can remain in use as part of the space over time.
The Position of PANECO® in Sustainable Retail Store Design
PANECO® is a textile circularity platform developed in Japan.
Using post-use textile waste as its primary resource, PANECO® develops textile recycling boards designed for implementation in commercial spaces, retail interiors, furniture, fixtures, and interior building materials.
PANECO® textile recycling boards are not experimental materials created solely for environmental appeal.
They are designed for real-world commercial use, offering workability and handling characteristics that are familiar to processing and construction professionals, while also expressing the unique textures and visual qualities derived from textile fibers.
They are sustainable materials that are designed first and foremost to function naturally as part of commercial spaces.
A Circular Material Design That Does Not Assume Waste
PANECO® does not approach textile waste from the perspective of how to dispose of it.
Instead, the core philosophy is to design materials from the outset with circulation in mind.
This principle forms the foundation of PANECO® textile recycling boards.
These materials are designed to be used in commercial spaces and, after fulfilling their role, to return to circulation as resources once again.
A structure that eliminates disposal as a default outcome lies at the heart of PANECO®’s circular material concept.
What PANECO® Will Present at EuroShop 2026
At EuroShop 2026, the PANECO® booth will not present a completed concept space.
Instead, the exhibition will focus on:
– The textile recycling boards themselves
– Product samples created from these materials
– The actual processes through which the materials circulate
Through physical material samples and product examples, visitors will be able to clearly understand how textile waste becomes material, how that material is used in commercial spaces, and how it returns to circulation afterward.

Through these articles, readers can gain a more comprehensive understanding of how Sustainable Retail Store Design and circular materials are implemented in practice.
PANECO® Provides a Material Choice, Not Just a Material
Sustainable Retail Store Design is not a temporary trend.
It requires continuously selecting materials that remain viable through repeated use, renovation, and renewal of commercial spaces.
PANECO® does not position textile recycling boards as materials reserved for niche or experimental projects.
Instead, it aims to establish them as a realistic and reliable material option within everyday commercial environments.
Global Sales Partner Recruitment
PANECO® is currently seeking global sales partners and business partners to support the international expansion of its Japan-made textile recycling boards.
We are particularly interested in organizations with experience in retail interiors, furniture, fixtures, or interior building materials.
PANECO® welcomes initial discussions focused on information exchange and mutual exploration.
For those interested in implementing Sustainable Retail Store Design in their local markets through a circular material partnership, we invite you to contact us.
