ReMove:
ReCycle
Sustainability Scheme
Furniture Recycling
We are committed to reducing our impact on the environment and supporting our clients with sustainable solutions. Our Morleys furniture recycling scheme ‘ReMove:ReCycle’ means that any unwanted furniture we collect is stripped down, segregated, and fully recycled. Following a refurbishment project or installation of new FF&E, our scheme aims to prevent any furniture that is not required from ending up in landfill.
According to Waste & Resource Action Programme (WRAP), it is estimated that 1.2 million office desks and 1.8 million office chairs end up in land fill every year, making it the most common way to dispose of old or unwanted furniture.
ReMove:ReCycle allows us to offer our valued customers a fantastic, sustainable furniture disposal solution at a fraction of the cost usually associated with waste management.
For efficient recycling, we dismantle each product and segregate the materials as follows:
Wood
Board types are segregated and recycled in various ways. Much of the material here goes off-site to large biomass burners which generate green energy.
Plastics
Using the Plastics Industry Association’s coding system, in accordance with ISO11469:2016, we can easily identify the various plastics. These categories allow clearer segregation for improved recyclability. Each of these plastics are converted to pellets and can be re-used to produce new products.
Foam
Any foam that can be removed from the product is returned to our foam supplier on a closed loop recycle chain and is put back into the manufacturing process. As with fabric, any foam that cannot be removed is segregated and disposed of via a regulated supplier.
Metal
There are two main metals used in office furniture: steel and aluminium. These materials are separated and can be recycled many times over.
Fabric
Fabric is segregated into Vinyl, Synthetic and Wool. Wool is returned to our fabric supplier on a closed loop recycle chain. Vinyl and Synthetics are segregated and bailed to be recycled and re-processed.
Through our ReMove:ReCycle sustainability scheme you can reduce your carbon footprint, but also save yourself the cost and the hassle of furniture disposal.
All customers who take part in the scheme will receive a report to advise of the weight of each type of material that we have recycled on their behalf, as well as the carbon saving achieved as a result.
