How Office Fit-Out Companies Can Support a Circular Economy
The global material consumption crisis is real. According to the Circularity Gap Report 2024, we’ve consumed over half a trillion tonnes of materials in just the past six years...Almost as much as the entire 20th century combined!
In the meantime, while the principles of an increasingly circular economy are catching up...we believe we can all go further.
As an office fit-out company, you play a key role in helping to promote sustainable principles, help businesses reduce waste, cut environmental impact, and add long-term value to your clients.
The good news is that
refurbished office furniture
can play a vital role in taking that positive step, AND it can also save you money and time - making it an obvious choice for any forward thinking business!
Are you aware of the
Five R’s of Circular Economy?
In case you aren't, these are: Reducing, Reusing, Refurbishing, Repairing, and Recycling. This framework helps provide clear paths to make office fit-outs more sustainable.
Refurbished furniture stands out as the obvious choice that many businesses have yet to consider when it comes to sustainability commitments. It offers premium quality solutions, often at a much lower cost, and with faster fulfilment than traditional new furniture.
The 5+1 R’s of Circular Economy in Office Fit-Outs
Reducing: Less Is More
By reducing material consumption, you save resources and costs. At Coggin SOS, we help businesses rethink their office needs and promote space-efficient designs that reduce overproduction. In turn, this helps your clients achieve greener, more cost-effective fit-outs.
Reusing: Keep Materials in Circulation
Reusing office furniture cuts carbon emissions and waste. Coggin SOS helps your clients easily source high-quality, second-hand furniture and offers refurbishment options that meet their sustainability goals without sacrificing quality. Every refurbished furniture purchase from us comes with our exclusive Savings Certificate. A concrete proof of your environmental and financial impact.
Refurbishing: Giving Office Assets a New Lease of Life
Refurbished furniture isn’t second-rate. Professional refurbishment can make office furniture look and feel like new. Plus, refurbished furniture costs less than new. At Coggin SOS, we offertop furniture brands like Herman Miller and Steelcase, which are expertly refurbished to match your clients’ needs without the long wait times or inflated prices of new furniture.
Repairing: Extending Product Lifespan
When companies prioritise repairable furniture, they extend the life of their assets and avoid costly replacements. Refurbishment and repair support a circular economy and offer BIG savings. That's money your clients can reinvest in other areas of their fit-out.
Recycling: Closing the Loop
Recycling should be the last resort, and it must happen. As a fit-out company, you can ensure proper waste management and recycling on-site, contributing to a more sustainable office environment while delivering high-quality products and services.
At Coggin SOS, we have added an extra 'R' to the framework: Replace
We can clear your unwanted office furniture and replace them with high-quality refurbished pieces of your choice for maximum impact. Instead of sending old furniture to landfills, pass it on to us, and we’ll ensure it lives a new life while you upgrade to cost-effective, sustainable solutions. It’s the easiest way to refresh your workspace while making a real difference.

Why Refurbished Furniture Should Be Your Clear Choice
Many businesses ignore refurbished furniture because they don’t see it as a viable, high quality solution. But, refurbished office furniture adds several clear advantages over purchasing new- making it the obvious choice for those looking to support the circular economy while also delivering premium office fit outs that clients will love, at a fraction of the cost.
Why Should Office Fit-Out Companies Consider Refurbished Furniture?
Refurbished furniture is a smart, sustainable choice for office fit-out companies. The reasons:
- Cost-Effective: Refurbished furniture saves up to 80% compared to buying new. This allows businesses to allocate budgets more efficiently, delivering premium-quality furniture without overspending.
- Eco-Friendly: Choosing refurbished pieces directly supports the circular economy. Your clients help reduce unnecessary waste, lower CO2 footprints, and cut demand for raw materials.
- Convenient and Fast: Refurbished furniture is ready when your clients need it. Unlike new furniture, which may take 8-12 weeks to arrive, refurbished pieces often arrive in just 10 days, making it easier for you to meet deadlines.
