The Finest Office Removals and Relocation Services in Melbourne

The Finest Office Removals and Relocation Services in Melbourne

You may not be aware, but Australia has a significant office furniture waste problem, with an estimated 55,000+ tonnes of near-new or usable office furniture waste making its way to landfills nationwide each year.

Much of the issue comes down to corporate culture and office relocation economics; unfortunately, many sectors are unaware of the problem.

In the current Australian office furnishings culture, it is often more cost-effective and efficient to abandon or dump a previous corporate fit-out and refit a new space rather than remove, transport, store, and refit existing furniture and fittings.

This leaves an endless cycle of near-new or functional office furniture being dumped every time a company expands or develops—there must be a better way.

A more sustainable office furniture solution

If you are a Melbourne-based business, you may have heard about our Sustainable Office Solutions store, which is filled with quality, brand-name, high-quality, second-hand office furniture.

However, did you know that we provide a comprehensive office removal and relocation service? Not only that, but we also acquire usable office furniture at respectable prices or sell your used furniture for a reasonable commission.

We are passionate about doing our bit to tackle Victoria's office furniture waste problem. Our expert team is dedicated to providing an easier, more eco-friendly, and sustainable solution for Melbourne businesses refitting or replacing their corporate furniture.

The benefits of choosing to relocate your office furniture

We are asking the Australian corporate sectors and other industries to become more aware of Australia's office furniture waste and the epidemic's heavy environmental impact.

Below are some positive impacts you can make by choosing to reuse, recycle, or sell your existing office furniture.

Waste reduction

Our world has a big enough waste problem without adding usable office furniture. By recycling or ethically disposing of your used office furniture, you are reducing the burden on our already overwhelmed waste management facilities.

Conservation

Reusing, recycling or upcycling your office furniture is an act of conservation. Office furniture usually lasts longer than we keep it; the longer each item stays in use, the less energy and resources are required in the office furniture cycle in the future.

Reduce VOC exposure

Volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, are toxic compounds often used in manufacturing common pieces of office furniture. These volatile organic compounds leech their way into the air from the furniture, with the most escaping in the first two years.

Choosing to resell or acquire second-hand office furniture reduces Australians' exposure to these compounds and reduces the amount leaching into soil and groundwater as materials break down in landfills.

Being part of the solution

Whether you are in a large corporate space or a small home office, every step we collectively take toward reducing our office furniture waste is helping to reduce the overall problem. You and your team can look back and know you actively contributed to creating a more sustainable and eco-friendly office furniture future.

What Our Clients Have to Say

UniSuper Management Pty Ltd have supplied furniture to Sustainable Office Solutions (SOS) for a number of years and they have always been professional to deal with.
Whether we have taken over a new lease resulting in unwanted furniture left behind or found our existing equipment is no longer suitable for our needs, SOS were able to collect it from Melbourne CBD within a quick timeframe. It is fantastic to know these items are being repurposed, rather than disposed of in landfills.
We hope to continue our relationship with SOS for years to come and would highly recommend them to other companies.
