GO GREEN!
From an end user standpoint, furniture sustainability begins with the choices you make when you buy your furniture. Those choices have a significant impact on the likelihood of it being repurposed when you are finished with it (usually 7 to 10 years later), which also affects your potential savings/return when you have to have it removed from your space.
Lots of companies can disassemble and remove used furniture from your office space, but few are truly specialized and focused on
saving money for their clients while making sure that as much furniture as possible gets repurposed. N.O.W.'s unique approach to these projects, along with our national resources and capabilities make us your best choice!
Some Things to Consider...
Choosing the Furniture You Buy!
New Furniture - If you want new furniture, consider quality brand name furniture that is designed to last. Nearly all major brands have multiple price points to help you meet your budget needs while still getting quality furniture. Low priced "off brands" might look good when new, but are generally not built to last, and are not likely to have value or be repurposed after their first use. Additionally, when buying low priced "off brands" clients will often finding themselves having to replace them in just a few short years.

Used Furniture - If sustainability is high on your list of priorities, or you are just on a tight budget but still want a polished professional look, quality used name brand furniture can be a great option! - Reputable used office furniture dealers bring in brand name used furniture inventories from N.O.W. (and other liquidators), inspect it, clean it, and make it available to you at a fraction of the cost of "new", and your clients probably won't be able to tell the difference.

Remanufactured Furniture - Another great option to achieve sustainability and/or budget goals is to consider remanufactured furniture. These dealers, generally specialized in specific brands and products, bring in used inventories from N.O.W. (and other liquidators), and make the furniture look and function like new! Then they offer them at prices that are significantly below the cost of "new". - And because they choose to remanufacture quality furniture, it can often be repurposed again after you are finished with it!

Caring for your furniture - Keeping your office furniture in good repair and under warranty extends its life and gives you the best chance to maximize the amount of furniture your liquidator (N.O.W.) can resell/repurpose when you are finished with it.

Eco-Friendly Office Furnishings: A Sustainable Option
One of the easiest and most effective methods to encourage environmentally friendly solutions is to reuse office furniture. Each conference table, desk, or chair that remains in use lessens the amount of garbage that ends up in landfills, the demand for fresh raw materials, and the energy-intensive manufacturing process. Repurposed furniture finds a new home in nonprofit organizations, businesses, and schools rather of ending up in a landfill, promoting sustainability and lowering expenses.
