Digital Passports for Office Furniture: How Blockchain Is Making Circular Economy Tracking Possible

By Ida Gorecka • April 3, 2025

Have you ever wondered where your office chair came from, what it's made of, or where it will go when you're finished using it? More and more organisations around the world are now taking advantage of Digital Product Passports (DPPs) and blockchain technology to track office furniture throughout its entire lifecycle, completely changing how we manage these everyday items. The old "buy, use, dispose" approach is fading as companies begin to recognise both the environmental and financial benefits of office furniture lifecycle tracking . And with new EU regulations like the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) which took effect in July 2024, this shift is becoming necessary for compliance. This technology gives you clear insight into your office furniture's lifecycle journey, helping you make better decisions about what you buy, how you maintain it, and when it's time to responsibly move on. Read on to see how tracking where your office furniture comes from and where it goes, is becoming a wise business choice that pays off in multiple ways.

Understanding the Circular Economy in Office Furniture: A Comprehensive Analysis

By Ida Gorecka • March 20, 2025

Did you know that the way we design, use, and dispose of old office furniture is at a crossroads? With growing environmental concerns, tightening regulations, and shifting corporate sustainability goals, businesses can no longer afford to overlook the impact of their office fit-outs. The traditional 'take-make-dispose' model is outdated - and it's costing you money. Modern organisations are shifting toward a more sustainable model , one where office desks, chairs, and storage units are reused, refurbished , or recycled instead of ending up in landfills and polluting our environment. This approach, called the circular economy , is all about getting the most value out of materials while reducing waste and cutting carbon emissions.
