When you recycle or clear your office with Coggin SOS, your unwanted furniture could still hold value. Our buyback service allows you to receive credit for reusable items, which can be used to reduce your removal or recycling costs — giving you a cleaner workspace and a stronger return.


We assess each item based on brand, condition, age, and resale potential, providing fair market valuations before your clearance begins. High-quality or branded furniture (such as Herman Miller or Steelcase) can deliver significant savings through resale or refurbishment.

What happens with the materials once broken down?


Our facility repurposes office furniture, with specialists assessing each item for reuse. If not reusable, we responsibly recycle by dismantling and separating materials, promoting reduced waste and a sustainable future.

Plastic from office furniture is typically recycled by first being separated based on the type of plastic. The separated plastic is then shredded at our facility and is then collected by one of our trusted buyers who then process the material by melting the shredded plastic into pellets, which can be used to manufacture new products such as plastic lumber, car parts, and seating components. 


This closed-loop process conserves resources, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and helps reduce the amount of plastic waste in the environment. Additionally, recycling plastic office furniture can also reduce the demand for new plastic production, conserving non-renewable resources and reducing the overall carbon footprint of the manufacturing process.

Metal from office furniture is recycled through a process that starts with the separation of discarded metal furniture/components. The metal is then sorted and processed to remove any impurities, and the pure metal is melted and formed into new products. 


This process conserves energy and natural resources, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and helps reduce the amount of waste in the environment. Recycling metal office furniture also reduces the demand for new metal extraction, conserving non-renewable resources and reducing the overall carbon footprint of the manufacturing process. The closed-loop recycling process helps ensure that the valuable metal resources are conserved and can be reused multiple times, making it an environmentally responsible and sustainable practice.

Wood from office furniture can be recycled as a biofuel through a process that starts with the collection and chipping of the wood waste. The wood chips are then dried, and the resulting biomass is burned in a power plant to generate heat and electricity.


This process of burning biomass is known as combustion, which releases energy in the form of heat and is captured to produce steam. The steam is then used to power a turbine and generate electricity. Biofuels like wood from office furniture are considered renewable energy sources because they can be continuously replenished, unlike non-renewable fossil fuels. Recycling wood from office furniture as a biofuel not only reduces waste, but also helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote energy independence by reducing the reliance on fossil fuels.

Foam from office furniture can be recycled as Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF). This process involves collecting and processing the waste foam into a uniform fuel product that can be burned for energy recovery. The foam is first shredded into small pieces and then dried and processed to remove any contaminants. 


The resulting material is then compressed into fuel pellets or bales, which can be burned in a waste-to-energy power plant to generate heat and electricity. This process helps to reduce the amount of waste that would otherwise go to landfills, and also reduces greenhouse gas emissions by using the waste as a fuel source instead of non-renewable fossil fuels. Recycling foam from office furniture as RDF is a sustainable practice that supports the transition to a circular economy and reduces the environmental impact of waste disposal.

Converting the general waste from office furniture into Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF) is a recycling method that serves a dual purpose. Firstly, it reduces the amount of waste going to landfills, and secondly, it transforms the waste into a valuable energy source. The process begins with the collection and sorting of waste into categories like paper, plastics, and metals. 


The residual waste is then shredded into small pieces, dried, and cleaned of any contaminants. The cleaned waste is then compressed into fuel pellets or bales, ready to be burned in a waste-to-energy power plant. By utilizing the waste as fuel, this process not only diverts waste from landfills but also reduces reliance on non-renewable fossil fuels, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The recycling of general waste from office furniture into RDF is a step towards a circular economy and a more sustainable future.

Zero-Landfill Office Furniture Reporting

We track every item we remove — whether it’s reused, refurbished, donated, or recycled — through our verified zero-landfill network. Every project is fully documented, giving you clear visibility of where your furniture went and the value recovered.


You’ll receive a detailed report showing:


  • Where each item went and how it was reused, resold, or recycled
  • The total weight diverted from landfill and percentage reuse achieved
  • Your cost and carbon savings, including any buyback offset


Our transparent reporting supports ESG and sustainability goals, providing the proof your business needs for audits, stakeholder reviews, and impact reporting — all while demonstrating measurable environmental and financial results.
