We're excited to share that our Circular Economy Team has started a new partnership with a leading local employer to recycle their old office furniture! Together, we've diverted a whopping 165 tonnes of office furniture, and this is just the beginning! #Sustainability #Recycle

Did you know? It can take up to 1,000 years for a chair to decompose in landfill. Usel’s Circular Economy Team is making a real difference in the local community by donating our recycled furniture items to schools and community groups. Interested? Get in touch!♻️💚 #GreenOffice
