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.

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.
