Which refurbished office furniture brand is most eco-friendly? – Office Resale

Businesses are seeking more ways to reduce their environmental impact, and sustainable furniture can play a big role in achieving this. Chairs, desks, and storage in an office can amount to hundreds of kilograms of CO2 emissions, as well as accounting for a significant amount of landfill when being disposed of. Opting for second hand office furniture can significantly reduce a business’ carbon footprint as well as their overall environmental impact. Additionally, used office furniture offers a wide range of preowned items that are both affordable and environmentally friendly. So, what are the most environmentally friendly office furniture brands?

Herman Miller ergonomic office chairs

Herman Miller is an office chairs and desks brand that believes in a sustainable model, offering a wide range of used office chairs. Their facilities operate on 100% renewable energy to produce eco-friendly furniture from recycled materials. They also provide top-quality used office desks in various styles and colors to suit any office environment. Their rePurpose program helps reduce the amount of unwanted assets going to landfills by reusing them. Research suggests that 100 offices using the rePurpose program reduces carbon emissions by 37.5 tons and prevents unwanted furniture from ending up in landfill. Herman Miller also maintains FSC certification and only uses renewable, certified and recycled wood.
