About this session:

Join us for an educational session that explores the evolving landscape of the office industry, where frequent changes can lead to significant economic and environmental waste. This workshop will highlight practical solutions to address the challenges of waste, cost, and storage associated with furniture replacement. Understanding the Problem: Every year, millions of tons of office furniture and supplies end up in landfills. This not only represents a loss of valuable materials but also contributes to environmental degradation. By understanding the lifecycle of office furniture and the impact of its disposal, we can identify ways to promote sustainability. Our Mission: Our shared mission is to reverse the trend of waste by promoting sustainable practices and capturing value during workplace transformations. We aim to educate participants on how to implement these practices effectively.
