recycling

Over 4,000
items prevented
from going to
landfill in 2022
As part of our sustainability programme we have been involved
in recycling, repurposing, and donating office furniture for many
years, but we have recently re-launched our office furniture
recycling service with re.think by Dams. When refurbishing a large
office space, disposing of furniture can be difficult and expensive.
All our customer’s old furniture can avoid land fill with our recycling
solutions to collect and recycle old furniture, helping to reduce
their carbon footprint whilst creating a modern office environment.
re.think is a new Dams initiative offering an easy-
to-access sustainable solution to support our
customers in the recycling and re-use of packaging,
recycling of unwanted office furniture, re-using
unwanted furniture to charities and other good
causes, and re-manufacturing old furniture to give
it a second life. With re.think we are committed to
helping our customers reduce their carbon footprint
and their costs while at the same time re investing
ALL the profits generated through re.think to further
enhance our future sustainability.
Furniture
upcycling
There are a number of innovative and aesthetically
pleasing methods to incorporate sustainable furniture
materials throughout the workplace. One of the
most popular being upcycling. Otherwise known as
creative re-use, this involves transforming waste or
unwanted objects into a product of higher quality and
environmental value. The end result is often a bespoke
piece of furniture, which adds both character and a
personal touch to the office space.
