Textile Recycling Boards for Next-Generation Commercial Spaces

Sustainable Retail Store Design is changing from the material level

Sustainable Retail Store Design has become a core theme across the global retail industry. Sustainability is no longer an optional add-on or a conceptual flourish. It is increasingly treated as a prerequisite for creating commercially viable spaces.

At the same time, retail spaces are judged by more than whether a material is eco-friendly. Decision-makers need to know whether a material genuinely works in the space: whether it integrates naturally, supports the design intent, and performs in everyday use.

A practical choice: PANECO® textile recycling boards

PANECO® is a Japan-born sustainable materials platform that develops and manufactures textile recycling boards made from end-of-life textile waste. These boards are intended for real-world use in retail interiors, store fixtures, furniture panels, and interior building materials.

PANECO® textile recycling boards are not experimental materials created only for environmental messaging. They are designed for real use in commercial spaces, with workability and ease of handling similar in feel to wood-based boards, while capturing the distinctive texture and expression that only textile-derived materials can provide.

Designed to be sustainable while simultaneously prioritizing its natural integration as a functional element within commercial spaces, PANECO® textile recycling boards are built to belong in the space as part of the design, not as an afterthought.

The role of materials in Sustainable Retail Store Design

In contemporary Sustainable Retail Store Design, materials are not merely finishing elements. They are central design components that shape first impressions and influence the overall brand experience.

Sustainable Retail Store Design is not about using an eco-friendly material once. It is about designing commercial spaces around materials that stand as design elements and continue to be used over time.

With this approach in mind, PANECO® textile recycling boards are developed as materials that balance aesthetics and practicality, so they can be naturally integrated into everyday commercial environments.

What PANECO® will show at EuroShop 2026: the material itself

At the PANECO® booth at EuroShop 2026, the focus is not on presenting a fully staged concept space. Instead, the exhibit highlights the textile recycling board material itself, product samples, and the process through which the material is circulated.

Visitors will be able to see and examine physical samples of PANECO® textile recycling boards, as well as product samples made from the material.

You will be able to understand how textile waste is transformed into board material, how it is used in commercial spaces, and how it is designed to circulate back into material after use. This end-to-end flow is shared through tangible material samples and product examples, alongside an accessible explanation of the circular design concept and process.

By viewing the materials through the lens of your own retail projects and product plans, you can assess whether this material can be incorporated into your business.

Making textile recycling boards a standard option for commercial spaces

Sustainable Retail Store Design is not a one-off initiative. It is the practice of designing spaces around materials that function as design elements and remain usable through repeated updates of the space.

PANECO® aims to establish textile recycling boards as a realistic, repeatable material option for commercial spaces, not limited to a small set of experimental projects.

Recruiting global sales partners

PANECO® is now recruiting global sales partners and business partners to expand overseas distribution of PANECO® textile recycling boards, a sustainable material made from textile waste and produced in Japan.

If you are seeking to implement Sustainable Retail Store Design in your market and want to introduce a material that is both sustainable and design-ready, we invite you to connect with PANECO® and explore partnership opportunities.
