Embracing Eco-Friendly Practices in the Marine Industry: The Power of Refurbished Office Furniture

In a world where sustainability and eco-friendliness are becoming increasingly important, businesses are looking for ways to make a difference. One such company is Williams Jet Tenders, a renowned boat manufacturer that has made a conscious decision to invest in high-quality refurbished office chairs from Coggin Sustainable Office Solutions. By choosing to support office furniture reuse, Williams Jet Tenders demonstrates its commitment to reducing waste and promoting a sustainable future within the marine industry.


"£1,224 in procurement savings & 3,332kg carbon reduction when compared to brand new equivalent office furniture."


Why Office Furniture Reuse Matters


The production of new office furniture consumes a significant amount of natural resources, while also generating considerable waste. In fact, it is estimated that around 8.5 million tons of office furniture end up in landfills annually. By opting for refurbished office chairs, companies like Williams Jet Tenders can play a part in reducing this waste and conserving valuable resources.

Williams Jet Tenders has chosen to collaborate with Coggin Sustainable Office Solutions, a company specialising in the refurbishment and resale of high-quality office furniture. By choosing to work with Coggin, Williams Jet Tenders not only supports the circular economy but also reaps the following benefits:


  • Cost Savings: Refurbished office furniture typically costs significantly less than its brand-new counterpart, allowing companies to save on their bottom line without compromising on quality.


  • Environmentally Friendly: Refurbished office furniture has a smaller carbon footprint than new items, making it a greener choice for businesses looking to reduce their environmental impact.


  • Customisation: Coggin Sustainable Office Solutions offers the opportunity to customise refurbished chairs to match a company's specific needs, ensuring a perfect fit for any office space.


  • Durability: Coggin's rigorous refurbishment process guarantees that their products are built to last, providing companies with a reliable and long-lasting office furniture solution.


Setting an Example for the Marine Industry


By choosing to invest in refurbished office chairs from Coggin Sustainable Office Solutions, Williams Jet Tenders sets a precedent for other businesses within the marine industry. As a leader in the field, their actions demonstrate that it is possible to make sustainable choices without sacrificing quality or productivity.


Williams Jet Tenders' decision to invest in high-quality refurbished office chairs is a clear indication of the company's dedication to sustainability and environmental responsibility. By supporting office furniture reuse through companies like Coggin Sustainable Office Solutions, businesses within the marine industry and beyond can make a positive impact on the environment while also enjoying the benefits of cost savings, customisation, and durability. This move by Williams Jet Tenders serves as an inspiration for other companies to follow suit and embrace the advantages of sustainable office solutions.


Client feedback:


Sustainability is a key pillar of success at Williams, as our products give people the ability to experience the most diverse, remote and exclusive marine environments in the world – these environments need protecting. We believe sustainability starts at home, and when we set out plans to create more space at our HQ, we wanted to do it in the most sustainable way possible. Over 60% of all waste that goes to landfill comes from the construction of sites, so reducing waste, improving energy efficiency, and using sustainable materials (such as Foresso) were key goals to build into the project.

 

After hearing about Coggin, we immediately knew they were the right partner to help furnish our new offices. We saved significant costs on a designer task chair, which was intercepted on the way to landfill, and impeccably refurbished to the point we couldn’t believe it wasn’t brand new! But more than saving costs, amazing customer service and inspirational design; you get a warm feeling that you’ve had a positive impact on the environment – there is no substitute for this. If you’re not already buying ‘used’, it’s probably because it’s not what you’re used to, but there’s big wins to be had for giving it a try, and Coggin are leading the way!

This approach, called the circular economy , is all about getting the most value out of materials while reducing waste and cutting carbon emissions.
