Coggin Sustainable Office Solutions and One Tribe are working together to protect rainforest with every purchase you make. Now when you purchase from Coggin Sustainable Office Solutions you automatically save trees in the rainforest and help improve the carbon footprint of your purchase.


How it Works

When you buy from Coggin Sustainable Office Solutions you automatically save rainforest. This helps fight the climate crisis by reducing Co2 in our atmosphere and instantly improving the carbon footprint of your purchase. One Tribe connects Coggin Sustainable Office Solutions and their customers to rainforest protection projects and tracks the climate impact in real-time.

Why Rainforests

Rainforests are the lungs of our planet, the natural solution to climate change that remove and store CO2 from our atmosphere. Your purchase has now directly helped protect them.

How does One Tribe protect rainforest?

One Tribe connects Coggin Sustainable Office Solutions directly to rainforest protection charities through the platform so every sale can directly donate and protect rainforests and the indigenous tribes and biodiversity that call them home. The rainforest charities then fund on-the-ground projects to save and continually protect the land.


How are the funds distributed?

Every month One Tribe collects payments from Coggin Sustainable Office Solutions who are protecting rainforests with their business and customers. One Tribe then makes payments to the projects via our conservation partners. These funds are distributed to the relevant conservation teams to continue the protection of threatened rainforests.

Planning your next office fit-out? Before you commit to that £50,000 furniture budget, consider this: the UK office furniture market reached £3.24 billion in 2024 ( source ), yet businesses are increasingly discovering that the "obvious" choice isn't always the smartest one. You’ve likely priced up premium ergonomic chairs at £800-£1,200, desks starting at £2,000, and meeting tables from £3,000+.

But here’s what those new furniture quotes don’t mention: the true cost goes far beyond the price tag. Hidden expenses, long lead times, and missed opportunities can add up to serious disruption, something savvy businesses are now avoiding. On the other hand, refurbished office furniture that delivers the same premium quality, ergonomic support, and professional look-at 50-80% less, and available in days , not months.

Reworking Workspaces: How Refurbished and Resized Office Desks Save Money and the Planet

By Ida Gorecka • June 2, 2025
Our approach to workspace design is evolving as organisations recognise the enormous waste and environmental impact of the traditional "buy new, dispose later" furniture cycle. Every year, organisations across the UK retire thousands of perfectly usable office desks-not because they’re damaged, but due to layout changes, branding updates, or relocations. These desks often end up in landfills , despite being made from valuable materials that require large amounts of energy and resources to produce. This disposable mentality is costing your business money AND damaging the planet by wasting valuable resources. But what if there was a solution that saved you money while reducing your carbon footprint ? By choosing refurbished and resized office desks, you can make smarter, more sustainable choices that help reduce waste , cut costs , and create premium-quality offices - all without the lengthy lead times that accompany new furniture purchases. If you've never considered refurbished desks before, you're in the right place to learn why they should be your obvious choice for your next project. But even if you have, keep reading for valuable insights into how refurbished and resized desks can improve sustainability initiatives, maximise cost savings, and support long-term business goals.
