What are your furniture needs?

Helping the Environment

Green-Works aim is to reduce, reuse or remanufacture as much material as possible, whether that be material from chairs, wood from desks or even nuts, bolts and castors; some items however are unable to be reused so need to be recycled. Whilst recycling is a viable and successful route for unwanted or disposed-of items, reusing or remanufacturing uses far less energy and should therefore be pursued wherever possible. 

Green-Works actively encourages employees, stakeholders and customers to reduce the amount of waste they generate, through knowledge sharing, advice. This is the first point of action to be taken.

Our reuse program is where Green-Works really gets involved, our whole model is based around the reuse of items whatever comes through the doors we try to find a new use for it, nothing is thrown away, you can even buy a handbag lined with material from our chairs! We have provided materials for schools, businesses and local schemes free of charge.

Recycling is the final option for Green-Works items and we continually strive to reduce this amount by finding innovative and creative ways to reuse these items.
