Australia’s World Expo 2025 Pavilion proves reuse is the future.

The Australia Pavilion at World Expo 2025 sets a new benchmark for sustainability, repurposing key build assets from events such as the London 2012 Shooting and Water Polo venues, the Birmingham Commonwealth Games, and the Tokyo 2020 Shooting venue to minimise waste. By hiring mechanical services, kitchen fittings, and landscape elements, as well as commissioning prefabricated structures, the pavilion reduces reliance on single-use machinery and champions a circular economy. Guided by sustainable design principles, it optimises energy efficiency through climate-tailored systems, high-performance equipment, and the use of local materials to lower embodied energy.
