Why Should You Use Recycled Office Furniture?

Recycled and refurbished furniture is a trend on the rise. The internet is full of ways to reuse, recycle or “up-cycle” chairs, desks, tables, cabinets etc. But what about for offices? Should you invest in recycled office furniture for your commercial facility? Whether you’re about to move offices or just considering renovating, refurbished furniture can save you money, help your community and get good press for your business.

Save Money

Office moves and renovations are expensive. From moving costs to lost productivity, expenses add up fast. Check new office furniture off your list by reusing what you have or finding recycled or refurbished furniture. Imagine how many employees your office has. Now imagine buying brand new office furniture for every one of them. With recycled office furniture, you can save as much as $7,000 per workstation. And according to leading workplace supplier Steelcase, reusing existing furniture after your commercial move may help you towards LEED® certification, qualifying you for government incentives.

Save the Planet

Believe it or not, people notice what your office looks like. Visiting clients look around, and your work environment speaks to the type of company you are. A feature like recycled office furniture stands out. An office that makes an effort to reduce their environmental impact is a company who cares. This kind of commitment to sustainability will be noticed by local media and the community, garnering good press for your business and a favorable impression from your customer base.

Savor Your Style

Many companies want a clean, modern look to their offices. Especially when moving into a new office. Part of the excitement of moving into a commercial facility or getting an office makeover is having a fresh new space to work in. But you don’t have to buy new to look new.
