Regener8 with Saxen

Feb 03, 2022

Let's furnish the world better.

Do you know how much commercial waste goes to landfill each year? 

It's 37.2 million tonnes per year.
To put this into perspective for you, that’s the equivalent of three million London double-decker buses per year.


In the commercial interiors industry, it is our responsibility to start making changes to reduce waste and lessen the amount going to landfill each year. That’s why Saxen have started a new initiative – Regener8.

What is Regerer8?


Our new Regener8 project aims to reduce your environmental footprint by providing the services to collect furniture at its end-of-life and to either find a suitable place for a second life or to break down the product into its components and recycle the materials, to divert products from going to landfill.



How does it work?


We offer a service to collect existing products to dispose of correctly. After an initial consultation and quotation, our service provider will collect the furniture and take it to their sorting site where they will process the materials - either to reuse, rework or recycle.

A sustainability report will be collated confirming the environmental and financial savings to the environment as well as a case study on how and where the product was reused/recycled.



What happens to the products?

Products get sorted into 3 main piles:

reuse

Furniture suitable for reuse is put onto an online portal for schools and colleges, community groups, charities and NGOs to apply for – there are over 180 different members on this site.

rework

When direct reuse is not an option, products will be upcycled and reused when possible.

recycle

Products that have reached their end-of-life will be split into components and recycled - 97% of all items are recycled.

What are the benefits?


  • Responsible disposal of products
  • Reduced environmental footprint
  • No landfill taxes
  • Promoting a circular economy
  • Positive contribution to community groups in need
  • Sustainability report and case study to promote positive actions
