Office Furniture Center has been committed to sustainable practices and business principles for over 15 years. Our belief is that being environmentally responsible is good for both the planet and for business. We believe that environmental stewardship is a responsibility that we all share. As part of the circular economy, we acquire premium pre-owned office furniture from across the country and give them a new lease on life through refurbishment, reconditioning, and repurposing.
At Office Furniture Center, we take sustainability seriously. Every year, we divert more than 300 tons of materials from landfills by recycling and repurposing assets. In addition, we sell over 800 tons of repurposed pre-owned products. Join us in our mission to create a more sustainable future by choosing Wurkwel for your next project.
Thanks to our efforts, each year we save the equivalent of the following in new product production:
Through our dedication to eco-friendly practices, we have saved enough energy to power 12 homes annually, power 200 computers every year, and drive an electric car for 439,333 hours. These impressive figures are a testament to our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint and promoting sustainability. By embracing these practices, we are not only reducing our impact on the environment but also contributing to a better future for generations to come.
The intent of the LEED Certification program is to encourage the adaptive reuse and optimization of products and materials. LEED, or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design is the most widely used green building rating system in the world. To earn, simply outfit your workspace with pre-owned, salvaged, or refurbished furniture. If over 30% of the total furnishing cost is spent on the adaptive reuse of products, you are eligible for LEED Certification Points.
At Office Furniture Center, we prioritize budget-conscious design solutions, offering products that support environmental sustainability. We believe that by taking a responsible approach to interior design, we can help build a better world for future generations.
Office Furniture Center also prioritizes charitable giving, supporting numerous community organizations through our philanthropic efforts, while also implementing environmentally conscious strategies in our business operations. We see this as another opportunity to prioritize sustainability and make a positive impact on the future.
