Furniture upcycling
There are a number of innovative and aesthetically pleasing methods to incorporate sustainable furniture materials throughout the workplace. One of the most popular being upcycling. Otherwise known as creative re-use, this involves transforming waste or unwanted objects into a product of higher quality and environmental value. The end result is often a bespoke piece of furniture, which adds both character and a personal touch to the office space.
Preventing any products from going to land fill reduces a business’s carbon emissions and with more companies taking a more sustainable approach to office refurbishment we are experiencing increased demand for our recycling solutions.
Although recycling furniture comes at a cost, it avoids the negative impacts associated with landfills.
