According to Waste & Resource Action Programme (WRAP), it is estimated that 1.2 million office desks and 1.8 million office chairs end up in land fill every year, making it the most common way to dispose of old or unwanted furniture.
re.think Furniture Recycling is another major part of the first pillar to the re.think programme, providing access to a nationwide collection and recycling service for our customers as a simple, sustainable solution for the disposal of old or unwanted furniture. Collections can be made either from your warehouse, or from your customer during delivery of new furniture.
Through this scheme, any furniture we collect is returned to our re.think depot and is stripped down, segregated, and fully recycled – avoiding landfill. We handle every part of the process, so our dealers don’t have to lift a finger. With re.think, our dealers and partners can offer their valued customers a fantastic, sustainable furniture disposal solution at a fraction of the cost usually associated with waste management.
For efficient recycling, we dismantle each product and segregate the materials as follows:
