Current situation – The Facts!
* Around 350 – 400,000 tonnes of furniture is sent to landfill every year in the UK, and this figure has gone up over the last few years as offices churn more often and as furniture has changed with the changes in the workplace
* An area of forest nearly the size of the UK is destroyed each year
* Up to 50% of total forest cover has now been destroyed by human activity
* To manufacture just one 70kg desk requires 530kgs of extracted material
* Reusing office furniture saves around ¾ the amount of carbon produced to create a new item.
