The Benefits of Refurbished Used Office Furniture:


  • Cost Savings: One of the most apparent advantages of opting for refurbished office furniture is the substantial cost savings. Businesses can save up to 80% or more on their furniture expenses, allowing them to allocate those funds to other essential areas of their operations.


  • Environmental Impact: By choosing refurbished office furniture, Fresh Start Waste Services is reducing their carbon footprint and making a significant contribution to environmental conservation. This decision helps reduce the number of new furniture pieces manufactured, ultimately conserving resources and minimising waste.


  • Quality and Durability: Contrary to popular belief, refurbished office furniture doesn't mean compromising on quality. Coggin Sustainable Office Solutions ensures that all the used furniture they offer has been thoroughly inspected and restored to meet the highest standards of quality and durability.


  • Customisation: With refurbished office furniture, businesses have the flexibility to customise their office spaces according to their specific needs and preferences. This allows them to create a unique and comfortable environment that fosters productivity and collaboration.


Fresh Start Waste Services' decision to partner with Coggin Sustainable Office Solutions for their office furniture needs is a testament to their commitment to sustainability and responsible business practices. By choosing refurbished used office furniture, they are not only reducing their environmental impact but also reaping the benefits of cost savings and quality products. This collaboration serves as an inspiration for other businesses to follow suit and embrace eco-friendly solutions in their operations.


Client feedback:


Working with Coggin Sustainable Office Solutions was easy from start to finish. The communication was fantastic and we've kitted our offices out in high-quality, reused furniture, which aligns with our company ethos of operating in a sustainable manner. We encourage all businesses we work with to reduce waste produced, reuse what they can, then recycle with us what they can't. I'd definitely encourage other businesses looking for furniture to contact them, and give furniture a new lease of life at the same time as minimizing carbon impact
