Refurbished office furniture is furniture that has been renovated to look and function like new furniture. It is an environmentally friendly option that provides the same aesthetic options as new but at a significantly reduced price.
Environmental Benefit: Every time 40 cubicles are refurbished, one less truckload goes to the landfill. Refurbishing also saves our raw materials and minimizes energy usage. For instance, every ton of recycled steel saves 2,500 pounds of iron ore, 1,000 pounds of coal, and 40 pounds of limestone. It also saves 4,300 kilowatt-hours of energy. Indoor air quality is another environmental benefit from refurbished office furniture because occupants have significantly less exposure to the volatile organic compounds (VOC’s) that result from the new manufacturing process.
Cost Benefit: When you don’t have to pay for the raw materials, labor, or energy that are needed to make new furniture, the savings are tremendous.
Aesthetic Benefit: Refurbishing uses the underlying structure of the furniture, yet allows for the visual elements of the cubicle to be designed to any specification. Customers choose colors, patterns or styles to fit their workspaces with an endless array of options.
Eco-friendly, aesthetically pleasing and economically advantageous – refurbishing makes for a win-win-win situation.
