That which benefits the environment also benefits your bottom-line.

Smart Office Advisors believes we all have a responsibility in keeping our world healthy and prosperous. By recycling used office furniture we can do to help preserve this planet.

In the purchase of used office furniture for your space, you will successfully:

• Conserve natural resources and energy

• Reduce the amount of product sent to landfills

• Protect virgin materials

Through recycling used office furniture, you extend the lives of resources already in circulation such as wood, aluminum, steel, plastics, and fiber, using them over and over to the fullest extent possible. Fabrics in panel systems tend to wear out and become outdated. By remanufacturing, the fabrics can be replaced and the office furniture returned to the market for a second life.

Remanufacturing conserves energy and natural resources. The amount of labor and energy required to alter existing product during remanufacturing is 85% to 95% less than that required to manufacture a new product. Industry experts estimate that for each pound of natural resources used in remanufacturing, 5-9 pounds of virgin materials are conserved.

Recycling sets a great example for your company's employees. It shows that your firm is managing the company's assets wisely and sends the message that conservation and waste reduction is an important corporate goal.

Buying used office furniture, either as-is or remanufactured, not only benefits the earth, you purchase the furniture at 50%-70% off new prices. Why not save the earth and save your budget at the same time?
