Recycle office furniture with Europa Services
Europa takes into consideration the environmental impact throughout the entire life-cycle of products - from materials to extraction to end-of-use strategies.
These are some of the services we provide for our clients in order to support environmental, social and economic practice through office furniture design, re-use and recycle.
Eco-design
Europa is committed to supplying products that are designed with the environment in mind; ones that can be re-used, recovered, reupholstered, reconditioned and refurbished. And one's that last. Many of the furniture products we supply are also designed to be fully recyclable - usually exceeding 98%.
Donation / Resale
Europa has partnerships with not-for-profit organisations and can assist with the collection and re-distribution of redundant office furniture for re-use by schools, charities and community organisations. In addition to projects with supply partners Europa has established unique relationships with some of their clients working together to re-cycle physical products into less fortunate communities both at home and abroad.
- Partnership with YMCA (120 retail outlets plus furnishing YMCA buildings)
- Assisting ethical businesses via resale opportunities
- Charity donation network (Yorkshire Air Ambulance, Age Concern)
Recycle and environmental disposal
We are seeing an ever-increasing demand from clients who are looking for ways to lessen the environmental impact of furniture they no longer use. They help their customers connect with an environmentally responsible method of managing their product at the end of its intended use.
Europa provides our clients with a variety of alternatives to sending furniture to landfills. We currently work with a recycling partner who is one of the largest independent waste management facilities in Europe, processing over 500,000 tonnes of waste a year, and has the capability to recycle 80% of commercial waste including wood, brick, metal, cardboard and plastic.
We also provide auditable waste trails from specialist 3rd party contractors and recycling of component parts - (metal, wood, textiles, plastic, paper)
Benefits:
- Cost efficiencies from disposal options
- Utilising consumable spares (locks, runners etc.)
- Reconfiguration process
- Crate management
- Elimination of furniture items in landfill & audit trails of disposed assets
