Giving Office Furniture a Second Life
Every year, thousands of pieces of perfectly usable office furniture are discarded during office moves, refurbishments and workplace redesigns. While replacing furniture may seem like the easiest option, it often results in unnecessary waste, higher costs and increased carbon emissions.
At OFG, we’re changing the way businesses think about office furniture. Our dedicated Circular Hub provides a sustainable alternative through furniture take-back, refurbishment, resale and responsible recycling. By extending the life of quality office furniture, we help organisations reduce waste, lower their environmental impact and maximise the value of their existing assets.
Whether you’re clearing an office, relocating, downsizing or refreshing your workspace, our team can help you make more sustainable decisions without compromising on quality.
What Is the Circular Economy?
The circular economy is an approach that keeps products and materials in use for as long as possible, rather than following the traditional “buy, use and dispose” model.
Instead of sending office desks, chairs and storage units to landfill, the circular economy focuses on extending their lifespan through reuse, refurbishment and redeployment. This reduces the need for new manufacturing, conserves valuable resources and helps businesses lower their carbon footprint.
For office furniture, this means giving quality products a second life rather than replacing them unnecessarily.
What Is the OFG Circular Hub?
The OFG Circular Hub brings together furniture collection, refurbishment, resale and responsible recycling under one roof.
Rather than allowing unwanted furniture to become waste, we assess every item individually to determine the most sustainable outcome.
Our process is designed to maximise reuse wherever possible, ensuring valuable furniture remains in circulation for years to come.
Furniture Take-Back
If your business no longer needs its office furniture, we’ll collect it and carry out a professional furniture audit.
Each item is assessed for condition, quality and resale potential before being allocated to the most suitable route. Where appropriate, we also provide a fair and transparent buyback valuation based on the furniture’s remaining value.
Professional Refurbishment
Many items only require minor repairs or cosmetic improvements to become suitable for continued use.
Our refurbishment process may include:
- Reupholstering office seating
- Respraying surfaces
- Replacing worn components
- Repairing frames and mechanisms
- Deep cleaning and quality inspection
Every item is carefully restored to a high standard, providing businesses with an excellent alternative to purchasing new furniture.
Furniture Redeployment
For organisations with multiple offices or changing workplace requirements, redeploying existing furniture can deliver significant cost savings.
Instead of purchasing new desks or chairs for another location, we can help relocate and reinstall existing furniture where it is needed most. This approach not only reduces costs but also supports wider sustainability and ESG objectives.
Furniture Resale
Furniture that is no longer required by one business may be exactly what another organisation is looking for.
Our Circular Hub helps quality office furniture find a new home, extending its useful life while providing affordable, high-quality workplace solutions for other businesses. By keeping furniture in circulation, we reduce demand for new manufacturing and help minimise unnecessary waste.
Responsible Recycling
Although our priority is always reuse and refurbishment, some items eventually reach the end of their working life.
Where furniture cannot be repaired or reused, we ensure materials are recycled responsibly wherever possible. This helps divert waste from landfill and recover valuable materials including wood, metal and plastics.
Traditional Approach vs Circular Approach
The table below highlights how a circular approach to office furniture can reduce environmental impact while helping businesses save money and extend the lifespan of valuable workplace assets.
| Traditional Approach | Circular Approach |
|---|---|
| Buy new furniture | Reuse existing furniture where possible |
| Dispose of unwanted furniture | Furniture buyback and refurbishment |
| Send furniture for waste disposal | Reuse, redeploy or recycle responsibly |
| Higher environmental impact | Lower carbon emissions |
| Increased purchasing costs | Greater long-term value |
