Cutting Costs: How Facilities Teams Can Save with Recycled Furniture

Understanding Your Office Furniture Lifecycle Costs

Every working day in the UK, more than 300 tons of office furniture end up in landfills. This is not only an environmental concern, but also a financial drain that impacts facilities' budgets nationwide.

As an experienced facilities manager, you understand the complexities. Office furniture management extends far beyond initial procurement. It's a continuous cycle of purchasing decisions, storage requirements, maintenance needs, and eventual disposal - each stage carrying costs that often exceed original budgets. Perhaps you're currently facing some of these challenges. You might be planning an office relocation, managing expensive storage space, or tasked with furnishing new areas while keeping costs under control. These are common pressure points in facilities management, but they don't have to remain obstacles.

The Cost of Second-Hand Office Furniture

At Coggin SOS, we’re challenging the status quo. 

A full workstation with a new desk and chair can run anywhere from £950 to £1,200. Our refurbished setups cost £365, offering the same professional look and functionality at a fraction of the price. For a 100-person office, that’s a potential saving of over £83,500!

Our refurbished Verco Ergoform Task Chairs are another example. A new chair costs £500; our refurbished option is just £125. That’s real money back in your budget, freeing you up to invest in other areas, whether it’s upgrading tech, improving facilities, or adding value in ways that matter to your team.
