In a world where sustainability is becoming increasingly important, the furniture industry is also adapting to meet eco-conscious needs. At KLAP, we believe in offering products that not only look great but also contribute to a greener planet. That’s why we’re excited to introduce our line of refurbished Herman Miller office chairs, combining high-quality craftsmanship with sustainability.
Refurbished: More Than Just Cost Savings
Choosing a refurbished product doesn’t just benefit your wallet—it’s better for the planet. High-quality furniture like Herman Miller office chairs is designed to last for decades, meaning they can be restored to nearly new condition and still offer years of use. This reduces the demand for raw materials and helps avoid unnecessary waste.
Refurbished vs. New – A Quick Comparison
- Cost-Effective: Refurbished chairs often come at a lower price point than their brand-new counterparts, making premium office furniture more accessible without compromising on quality.
- Sustainability: By choosing refurbished, you’re reducing the demand for new materials, which in turn helps to cut down on carbon emissions related to manufacturing and transportation.
Why Refurbished Furniture Is Better for the Planet
Furniture manufacturing has a significant environmental impact. A study by Carbon Trust revealed that the production of a typical office chair generates approximately 72 kg of CO2 emissions (its equivalent to driving roughly 600 kilometers—about the distance from Tallinn to Warsaw), contributing to global climate change. By choosing refurbished office chairs, you’re helping to reduce this footprint.
- Reduction in Raw Materials: Refurbishing existing furniture eliminates the need for new materials, reducing the strain on forests and other natural resources.
- Energy Efficiency: Manufacturing new furniture requires large amounts of energy, from extraction and processing of raw materials to assembly and transportation. Refurbishing consumes significantly less energy, thus reducing carbon emissions.
- Landfill Waste Reduction: In the EU alone, 10 million tons of furniture are discarded annually (European Comission Report on furniture waste statistics), much of it ending up in landfills. Refurbishing keeps items in circulation and out of the waste stream, contributing to a circular economy.
Cost-Effectiveness: Savings for You and the Planet
In addition to the environmental benefits, refurbished furniture is also more cost-effective for the customer. Refurbished versions offer the same ergonomic design and durability at a fraction of the price—often 30-50% cheaper.
Refurbished office chairs allow you to enjoy high-quality, design-forward furniture while making a responsible, sustainable choice. It’s a win-win for both your home or office and the planet.
