re.think how you manage your waste. re.think can help support your business sustainability as well as reduce your costs.
re.cycle
Recycling of packaging waste in addition to furniture recycling. The packaging recycling scheme allows Dams to collect packaging waste streams and return them to the re.think depot to be fully recycled. Furniture recycling ensures that office furniture that is collected can avoid landfill through disassembling and recycling each of the various materials used in the product.
re.use
Re-using packing, finding new homes for unwanted office furniture. Returned packaging that can be re-used is segregated and quality checked at the re.think depot, and then put back into the production process. Furniture in good condition that is collected for recycling is donated to charitable organisations.
re.manufacture
Re-manufacturing of furniture that needs to be fixed or repaired. Products such as chairs can be stripped down at the re.think depot, key components replaced, re-upholstered, and cleaned. Wooden furniture can be cut down to make a smaller size desk, or a locker from a pedestal for example.
re.invest
Re-investing is a critical approach to maintaining a sustainable business. The commitment to re-invest profits generated through the re.think sustainable solution initiative will allow Dams to continue to innovate and develop our sustainability processes for a greener future.
