Traditionally, most office furniture is designed, produced, and sold according to a linear business model, resulting in unnecessary consumption of natural resources and increased environmental impact.
Soeco by Yllw aims to change this model and challenge the prevailing throwaway culture within the office furniture industry. By promoting the reuse of second-hand furniture, we help reduce the need for new production, thereby conserving both resources and energy. We provide reused office furniture to offices, restaurants, and other public environments, which not only reduces environmental strain but also reduces the overall consumption of new raw materials.
Our process begins by carefully refurbishing, renovating, and repairing the furniture we acquire, ensuring that it is given a second life—either through sale or lease to new customers. Often, we transform furniture to provide new functions and tailor them to meet our customers' specific needs.
By extending the lifespan of office furniture and its components, we create a more sustainable solution by maximizing the use of existing resources. This is a central principle of a circular business model, where reuse and efficient resource utilization play a critical role.
Reusing office furniture offers significant advantages in three key areas: economic, environmental, and social sustainability.
- Economic sustainability: By offering reused furniture at competitive prices, we provide companies, especially those with limited resources, the opportunity to furnish their workspaces in a cost-effective way without compromising on quality or functionality.
- Environmental sustainability: Reusing furniture reduces the need to produce new goods, thereby minimizing overall resource consumption. This directly contributes to reducing environmental impact by lowering emissions and waste.
- Social sustainability: Through our work with reuse and renovation, we create jobs that utilize various craft skills, supporting sustainable economic development and strengthening local communities.
At Soeco by Yllw, we believe that sustainability is about more than just protecting the environment; it is about creating long-term solutions that benefit both businesses and society. By integrating these principles into our work, we contribute to a more responsible and sustainable future for all.
