Recycling Corporate Furniture

On average, new corporate furniture produces 40 times more greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions than refurbished corporate furniture.

As an expert partner in LEED projects, Réseau•B works with customers, architects, designers and building managers on office environment planning projects, generating value by adopting an innovative and eco-friendly approach to corporate furniture. Their environmental commitment is driven by three basic concepts that form the core of their vision for profitable and sustainable development.

Concept 1: Upcycle/reuse

In all the products around us, Réseau•B sees materials with tremendous value-added potential. Whether in terms of refurbishing furniture or packaging products for delivery, they try to make the best use of components that are no longer useful.

Concept 2: Recycle

They reduce the waste generated as much as possible and sort various materials from the refurbishment process on a daily basis to ensure high-quality recycling and help create new eco-friendly materials.

Concept 3: Reduce

Above all, environmental commitment involves recognizing the problem of overconsumption. Réseau•B’s eco-friendly furniture solution allows customers to considerably reduce their environmental impact by opting for the circular economy.

In addition to facilitating LEED project certification, Réseau•B’s products and services have a direct impact on the environment. 

On average, refurbished corporate furniture produces 40 times less greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions than new corporate furniture (32 g versus 1,287 g of CO2 per pound of panelling). In addition, upcycling 1 full corporate workstation saves enough energy to power 10 houses for an entire day and is equivalent to planting 10 trees. Overall, on average, Réseau•B upcycle 3,500 modular system components and over 150 tonnes of metal a year.
