Furniture Sustainability/Circular Economy

Sustainable thinking

• Key within Restore Harrow Green on any clearance project, is reducing ‘waste’ and developing a relationship with customers and FAAS providers/partners, to ensure we minimise the hugely impactful effect on the environment and consider the circular economy on all projects.
• Help customers to account for carbon savings on projects. Transparency is key to our approach to how we work and support our customers. We provide an end-to-end service, from the initial audit to project close.
• We have developed a network of approved service partners around the UK, to support our teams on buy back of redundant product, furniture as a service, and end of life management.

Ethical management of furniture

Clearance of older, unwanted furniture is one of the more carbon intensive procedures many businesses incur after a move. To minimize the carbon impact of a customer’s project, we adhere to the following process:

• Audit and gather data, including project objectives and identify furniture to enter the circular economy.
• Liaise with pre-loved supply chain and partner schools/charities to maximise circularity and rebates. Zero to landfill mantra, but achieving as much re-use as possible
• Co-ordinate charitable donations on behalf of the client. Our charity partner for 2024 is Barnardo’s.
• Share this information with the customer team, empowering them to go as green as possible.
• Produce post-project accredited carbon reporting/case studies.
