Re.Cycling
of packaging waste in addition to furniture recycling. The
packaging recycling scheme allows Dams to collect packaging
waste streams and return them to the re.think depot to be
fully recycled. Furniture recycling ensures that office furniture
that is collected can avoid landfill through disassembling and
recycling each of the various materials used in the product.
Re.Using
packaging plus finding new homes for unwanted office
furniture. Returned packaging that can be re-used is
segregated and quality checked at the re.think depot, and
then put back into the production process. Furniture in
good condition that is collected for recycling is donated
to charitable organisations.
Re.Manufacturing
of furniture that needs to be fixed or repaired. Products
such as chairs can be stripped down, key components
replaced, re-upholstered, and cleaned. Wooden furniture
can be cut down to make a smaller size desk, or a locker
from a pedestal for example.
Re.Investing
which is a critical approach to maintaining a
sustainable business. The commitment to re-invest all
revenue generated through the re.think sustainable
solution initiative will allow Dams to continue its drive
and focus in sustainability.
Preventing any products from going to land fill reduces a business’s carbon emissions and with more companies taking a more
sustainable approach to office refurbishment we are experiencing increased demand for our recycling solutions.
