More and more organisations want to design their working environment in a sustainable way. There is often no need for "new". As long as the furniture is of good quality, comfortable and durable. And fits the needs of the organisation. With Circular Advice, we help organisations create a working environment that builds on what is already there. Circular Consultant Tom van den Akker explains how this works. Meet Tom at our stand on Thursday, 24th October: Hall 8, B041.
What is Circular Advice?
"Circular Advice is our answer to an common question from our clients: they want a different interior, but it doesn't have to be completely new. As long as the furniture is of good quality, meets ergonomic and safety requirements and looks like new. We advise our clients on furniture reuse. For instance, we assess which furniture they have in-house is suitable for upgrading. It's important to see which furniture we have in stock from our own Revived Collection. And we determine what and who we need to implement it. That varies from project to project."
Do you have an example of Circular Advice in action?
"For Booking.com, we converted 844 duo workspaces from 160x80 to 140x80 and 135x80. In the process, we supplied new upholstered panels so that the 'existing' workplace fits into the architect's new interior design plan. A perfect convergence of refurbishment wherever possible, complemented by newly developed parts to produce a very beautiful and durable result. By reusing the existing workplaces, we reduced CO2 emissions considerably."
About the Circular Hub
In the 12,000 m² Circular Hub in Veghel, we’ve brought together all of our circular expertise and manufacturing facilities. Here, we give new life to used furniture: office furniture we have purchased or received returns from clients. In this way, we extend the lifespan of furniture and contribute to the circular economy. We revitalised 85,000 pieces of furniture in the Circular Hub during 2023.
