In today's world, businesses are becoming increasingly conscious of the impact they have on the environment. Companies are looking for ways to reduce their carbon footprint, save on energy costs, and operate in a more sustainable manner. Facility management companies have a crucial role in this shift towards sustainability, as they are responsible for the day-to-day operations of buildings, ensuring that they are functional, safe, and environmentally friendly. In this regard, partnering with Coggin Sustainable Office Solutions can help facility management companies support their clients in achieving a sustainable future.


At Coggin Sustainable Office Solutions, we offer a range of services that can benefit facility management companies and their clients.

Our services include office furniture refurbishment, zero-landfill office clearance, and sustainable office supplies. By partnering with us, facility management companies can help their clients save money and reduce waste, while also contributing to a more sustainable future.


Office Furniture Refurbishment


One of the most significant sources of waste in office environments is furniture. As companies grow and evolve, they often update their furniture to keep up with changing trends and technology. However, this often means that perfectly good furniture is discarded and sent to the landfill. At Coggin Sustainable Office Solutions, we believe that there is a better way. Our office furniture refurbishment service offers a sustainable alternative to the disposal of furniture. By refurbishing existing furniture, we can extend the life of the products and save our clients money in the process. This service is particularly beneficial to facility management companies, as they can offer a cost-effective alternative to their clients while also promoting sustainability.


Zero-Landfill Office Clearance


When companies move or downsize, they often have a surplus of furniture and equipment that they need to dispose of. However, traditional disposal methods often result in a significant amount of waste going to the landfill. At Coggin Sustainable Office Solutions, we offer a zero-landfill office clearance service that helps companies dispose of their unwanted furniture and equipment in a sustainable manner. We work with our clients to identify items that can be reused, refurbished, or recycled, and we ensure that nothing goes to the landfill. By partnering with us, facility management companies can offer their clients a more sustainable way of disposing of their surplus furniture and equipment.


In conclusion, facility management companies have a critical role to play in promoting sustainability in the workplace. By partnering with Coggin Sustainable Office Solutions, facility management companies can offer their clients a range of sustainable office solutions, including office furniture refurbishment and zero-landfill office clearance. By working together, we can help companies reduce their waste, save money, and contribute to a more sustainable future.
