How we approach furniture reuse

We prioritise reuse and refurbishment wherever possible, recycling only what can't be kept in use.

Asset audits: We audit your furniture and help you decide what to keep, refurbish, resell or recycle. An asset audit before your move or refurbishment can often identify items worth keeping that would otherwise be scheduled for disposal.
Reuse and refurbishment: Extending the working life of furniture through reupholstery, cleaning, parts replacement and upcycling.
Buy-back and resale: Where there's resale value, we refurbish and resell on your behalf, with proceeds returned to you.
Office clearance: A zero-landfill clearance service for full office fit-outs, with a documented audit trail and impact report.

Why organisations trust IE with their assets

We process around 5,000 client orders a year across a network of 300+ manufacturers. Every re-use project comes with a fully documented audit trail so you can evidence the environmental and financial impact for your own sustainability reporting. We're a Certified B Corporation™ and hold an EcoVadis Gold rating, demonstrating our commitment to sustainability.

50% reduced carbon usage for high profile bank

One of our banking clients needed to increase capacity in one of its offices. They asked us to assess the environmental and cost impact of reducing the size of 626 existing desks vs buying new ones.

The chosen option was to dismantle them in situ, take them off-site, cut the tops and under-structure beams down by 400mm. We then reassembled back on site with new cable baskets.

50% less carbon generated.
10% cost saving.
All excess metalwork and plastic were recycled.
Desk off-cuts were used in waste-to-energy schemes.
Disassembly and reinstallation took just one week.

£86,000 buyback payment awarded to blue chip client

A high-profile, blue chip client recently asked us to clear three of their buildings in London, Dublin and Brussels.

More than 3,600 height adjustable workstations, 500 task chairs and other loose furniture items were taken away, refurbished and resold.
All furniture was reused, not recycled or disposed of.
Furniture from Dublin and Brussels was resold within the EU to avoid customs charges.
The company received a report showing the total carbon saved and the total weight of furniture diverted from landfill.
