Beyond Business: How You're Part of Our Environmental Mission

Ida Gorecka • February 3, 2025

Remember that office furniture project you completed with us? While you were creating your perfect workspace, something bigger was happening. Every desk, chair, and cabinet you chose was saving you money, but most importantly, it was helping protect our planet's future. And now, we want to share exactly what your support has achieved.

What Your Office Furniture Choice Achieved

Thanks to clients and partners like you, we've reached some remarkable milestones:


  • Over 36,000 trees planted worldwide through our Ecologi partnership
  • 18,000 rainforest trees protected through OneTribe, preserving vital forest areas where they're needed most
  • Nearly 400 tonnes of carbon emissions avoided - equivalent to taking 87 cars off the road for a year


These are not just our achievements - they're yours. Every time you chose refurbished office furniture over new, you automatically became part of these environmental projects.


This data is independently verified and continuously updated through our partnerships with Ecologi (view live tracker) and OneTribe (view live tracker).

Making Every Action Count: Our Environmental Partnerships

When we partnered with Ecologi in 2021, we knew we wanted to do more than just save office furniture from landfill. We started by taking a hard look at our entire operation - measuring the carbon we produce from our vans, warehouse, and complete supply chain (what environmental experts call Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions). This gave us a clear picture of our environmental footprint and showed us exactly where we needed to focus our efforts.


This understanding led us to develop two key initiatives. First, through Ecologi, we began funding global tree planting and carbon reduction projects to address our measured emissions. Second, we partnered with OneTribe to protect existing rainforest trees - the vital carbon-capturing engines our planet already has. 


These complementary partnerships create both immediate and lasting environmental benefits - from capturing new carbon through freshly planted trees to preserving the biodiversity in existing rainforests. It's a comprehensive approach that matches the scale of our ambition: to make every aspect of our business work harder for the planet.

How Your Office Furniture Refurbishing Projects Make This Happen

Here's the beautiful simplicity of it: you don't need to do anything extra. When you work with us, your regular projects automatically contribute to these environmental initiatives. That means while you're saving money and getting quality refurbished office furniture, you're also:


  • Supporting global reforestation projects
  • Protecting existing rainforest
  • Reducing carbon emissions through smarter furniture choices

Looking Forward: Growing Our Environmental Impact Together

We're proud of what we've achieved together, but this is just the start. As more businesses like yours choose sustainable office furniture options, we're finding smart new ways to make your choices count even more for the environment. Every project teaches us something valuable - from finding promising new conservation projects to making our refurbishment process even better. 


Those environmental numbers we shared earlier - the trees planted, the carbon saved - they're not just numbers on a page. They're the direct result of choices you made while setting up your office. Every piece of refurbished office furniture you chose has helped create positive change, from keeping items out of landfills to supporting forest protection around the world. Your choices create a domino effect: less waste in landfills and a clear signal to other businesses that sustainable choices make sense. 


Doing business differently starts with small choices that add up. If that matters to you, please get in touch. Your next office project could do more than you know for less than you think.

By Ida Gorecka • July 7, 2025
Your education budget is under more pressure than ever. Whether you're managing a school, college, or university, you know the challenge: creating inspiring learning environments while budgets shrink and demands grow. According to research by the IFS , between 2010/11 and 2022/23, funding received by colleges for 16-19 education dropped by nearly a quarter, and adult skills funding was cut by more than half. Meanwhile, overall surplus levels fell for the sector as a whole from £2,290 million (5.6 per cent of income) in 2021-22 to £1,284 million (2.9 per cent of income) in 2023-24 ( source ). This financial squeeze is hitting at exactly the wrong time. Your students deserve quality learning environments, but premium furniture prices make this increasingly difficult to achieve. But what if there was a solution that delivered professional-quality furniture without the premium price tag? What if you could create the inspiring spaces your students need while actually saving money ? By choosing refurbished office furniture , you can stretch your budget 3-5 times further, receive furniture in days rather than months, and create premium-quality learning environments - all without compromising on the standards your institution demands.

By Ida Gorecka • June 30, 2025
Planning your next office fit-out? Before you commit to that £50,000 furniture budget, consider this: the UK office furniture market reached £3.24 billion in 2024 ( source ), yet businesses are increasingly discovering that the "obvious" choice isn't always the smartest one. You’ve likely priced up premium ergonomic chairs at £800-£1,200, desks starting at £2,000, and meeting tables from £3,000+. Leading brands like Herman Miller and Steelcase come with quality-but also long lead times, hidden costs, and potential delays that can hold up your entire fit-out. But here’s what those new furniture quotes don’t mention: the true cost goes far beyond the price tag. Hidden expenses, long lead times, and missed opportunities can add up to serious disruption, something savvy businesses are now avoiding. On the other hand, refurbished office furniture that delivers the same premium quality, ergonomic support, and professional look-at 50-80% less, and available in days , not months. In this article, we’ll unpack the hidden costs of buying new and explain why choosing refurbished furniture is a strategic, value-driven decision for your office.

Beyond the Skip: How Recycling Office Furniture Saves Money and the Planet

By Ida Gorecka • June 17, 2025
Are you still throwing perfectly good office furniture into skips? Every year, millions of pieces of furniture are discarded in the UK, with the majority going directly to landfill. Meanwhile, the standard landfill tax rate in the UK is currently £103.70 per tonne, and it's only getting more expensive. But what if there was a better way? What if that "outdated" desk or those "worn" chairs could actually save you money while keeping valuable resources in circulation ? Recycling old office furniture isn't just about doing the right thing environmentally; it's about making smart financial decisions that protect your finances. According to recent statistics , office furniture accounts for an estimated 8.5 million tons of furniture waste per year globally, yet 51% of furniture is reusable if we take into account items requiring slight repair. You're facing a choice every time you clear out your office. The skip route costs money and harms the environment. The recycling route saves money and creates value. Here's how recycling old office furniture can transform your business operations while delivering measurable savings. Want to see how much you could save by recycling your office furniture?
