Resirculation in office furniture – a growing market

In a world where sustainability and circular economy are becoming increasingly important, the office furniture industry faces an exciting future. Post-Covid, we are seeing fewer permanent office workplaces overall, but at the same time, more initiatives for more innovative and attractive office solutions. Increasing environmental awareness among consumers, a shift towards new business models such as subscription services, public regulations, and greater cost pressures make the circular economy interesting for office furniture.

Over 140,000 tons of office furniture are discarded in Norway each year, with a value of NOK 400 – 500 million. These are enormous figures that present great opportunities if we exploit the potential of the circular economy. In this article, we will take a closer look at the benefits and challenges of reusing office furniture.

We had a conversation with Lars Erik Sikkeland, the CEO of RE:intenvar, about the opportunities and challenges in recycling office furniture. His assessments have been used in this article.
