Sustainability in Office Removals: Meeting Your Clients' Expectations

Ida Gorecka • February 25, 2025

The office removal space is changing fast. Clients aren’t just asking about moving dates or insurance anymore. They’re also becoming more aware of the environmental impact of their office relocations. As businesses face increasing pressure to showcase their sustainability efforts, every part of their move needs to align with their environmental goals. For removal companies like yours, this is a golden opportunity to expand your services and boost project values.


Ready to turn these eco-conscious clients into long-term partners? This article shows you exactly how.

The Growing Demand for Sustainable Office Moves

The game has changed for office removals. Think about your last few client meetings. How many times did sustainability come up?


In the UK alone, over 300 tonnes of used office furniture enter landfills daily. Your clients face mounting pressure to prove they're handling unwanted furniture responsibly - simply sending it to landfill isn't an option anymore. Corporate environmental policies and ESG requirements demand proper documentation and sustainable solutions.


Most removal companies still focus on the basics-just moving the office furniture. But this leaves a big opportunity for companies that want to offer more. By partnering with Coggin SOS and our recycling facility, you can provide complete solutions that solve those client problems, while increasing your project values.


When planning an office move today, you’re likely to hear questions like:


  • "Can these desks be recycled?"
  • "What happens to our old chairs?"
  • "How can we prove everything was disposed of sustainably?"


Being able to answer these questions confidently can turn a simple removal job into a much bigger, value-added service.


Your clients are asking for sustainable office solutions and we're here to help you deliver them. Get in touch to explore our partnership opportunities.

We can breathe new life into furniture clients who wish to keep or process unwanted items through professional refurbishment. Our expert team strips items down to the frame, replaces worn components, rebuilds mechanisms, and restores finishes - all backed by a 12-month warranty.


For furniture that can't be refurbished, we operate an end-to-end recycling operation. Our facility processes specific material streams:


  • Specialised plastic processing for reusable materials
  • Metal component separation for remanufacturing
  • Responsible wood recycling
  • Dedicated foam processing streams


Make furniture recycling part of your standard offering. We handle the logistics while you grow your business. Get in touch to learn more about our partnership program

Delivering Office Removal Solutions with Full Documentation

Modern businesses need concrete proof their old office furniture was handled sustainably, without contributing to landfill waste. Through our partnership, you can deliver exactly that. For every project, we provide detailed recycling certificates, material recycling reports, and carbon savings calculations - giving your clients everything they need to meet their environmental goals.


Imagine this: Your client needs to relocate 200 staff but only wants to move 60% of their furniture. Rather than a challenge, this becomes an opportunity to showcase your comprehensive service. You can confidently explain how unwanted items will be professionally processed through our zero-landfill facility, with full documentation provided.

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.
