End of Use.
End of life, but not the end of the journey. End-of-life is a last resort. Let’s first discuss End-of-use.
In the UK it is estimated that waste from furniture equates to 670,000 tonnes per year. We believe that much of this furniture reached the end of its life too early.
End-of-use is what happens when people decide they no longer need furniture. Their ‘use’ for the products has ended. Normally this results in disposal and waste creation. At re:work however, end-of-use is just another stage in a product’s lifecycle. We take furniture that is pre-owned, pre-market, returned, ex-hire and subscription, and extend its life through reconditioning, finding it a new home, or returning it restored to the original owner.
Just because fashions or needs change, realising the value in existing furniture is key to reducing waste and carbon emissions.
What is End-of-life furniture?
With extending product lives at the forefront of our minds, we do everything we can to recondition and reuse pre-owned furniture. There comes a point though where a product’s life is truly ending.
Whether it’s through rehoming, remanufacturing, refurbishing or donation to a charitable cause we aim to extend the life of furniture as far as possible. There comes a time though where a piece furniture is beyond reuse, and we call this end-of-life. Although the story does not end there.
It all adds up. The facts and figures behind what we do.
How do we make this happen?
As we are part of The Senator Group, we have access to its industry-leading Recycling Centre; Sustain.
Through Sustain products are broken down, separated, and recycled, returning valuable materials back into the circular economy and diverting furniture away from landfill.
If you have pre-owned furniture you wish to recycle, we can help.
We can help you take the stress out of removing and recycling your end-of-life furniture and ensure that it is reused or recycled in the most efficient manner.

Sustain not only recycles The Senator Group’s furniture, we also take any furniture type to ensure it gets recycled and fed back into the supply chain.
