Can Office Chairs Be Recycled?
Swap your old office chair for an Ergotherapy ergonomic upgrade while contributing to a sustainable and better future through our CHAIRity donation programme.
If sustainability is important to you, replacing office chairs can bring on feelings of guilt. You can give your old chair new purpose and your conscience (and your back) a rest with an Ergotherapy ergonomic upgrade without adding to landfill waste or compromising your eco-conscious values. Our CHAIRrity programme ensures your old chairs find a new purpose in the community. When you help your back, you cover someone else's — it’s a sustainable choice that benefits you and others.
What Are the Benefits of Recycling Your Office Chairs?
Understanding the impact of recycling your office chairs helps frame your decision to replace them sustainably.
It reduces waste. Office chairs contain materials like metal, plastic, and foam, all of which can overwhelm landfills if not repurposed.
For businesses, it promotes corporate responsibility. Recycling office furniture showcases commitment to sustainable practices, enhancing brand reputation and employee satisfaction.
Lastly, it supports a circular economy. Repurposing or donating office furniture extends its life cycle, helping to foster a system where products are continually reused.
Tips for Staying Sustainable When Replacing Your Chair
To maximise your impact when replacing your office chair, keep these sustainability tips in mind:
Buying good quality means buying less quantity. Our ergonomic chairs are designed with state-of-the-art features that prioritise posture, reduce pain, and enhance productivity. Investing in ergonomic and durable products means fewer replacements over time, which supports long-term environmental benefits. Investing now means consuming less later.
Balance functionality and aesthetics. Choosing a chair with a classic, timeless design and going for neutral colours means your choice will remain functional and stylish over time. Neutral tones accommodate changing decor, prolonging your chair’s appeal and reducing the temptation to replace it for aesthetic reasons.
Support green initiatives and engage with companies that prioritise sustainability. Encourage friends and colleagues to motivate others to make eco-friendly choices.
