Réutilisons

Réutilisons puts still-usable furniture and equipment back into circulation instead of letting it go to landfill. Its service for non-profit organizations redistributes surplus inventory for free, delivery included, and sorts the items offered into five categories: office, sports, home, construction and textiles. Office furniture and equipment, including workstations, chairs and stationery, make up a category of their own.

The furniture and equipment an organization gets rid of go to landfill for lack of a taker. On the non-profit side, equipment is bought from a budget that would otherwise go to the mission.

The product

The company runs an online store reserved for non-profit organizations. The organization first fills in an interest form saying which categories of items it is looking for, then reserves the items it wants in the store. The team then contacts it to confirm the order and plan the delivery. The donation and the delivery are free, and the organization chooses which items it reserves.

What it changes in practice

• Furniture that can still be used stays in service, because it is redistributed rather than sent to landfill.
• A non-profit keeps its budget for its mission, because the items and the delivery are given to it.
• The organization receives items that match its needs, because it states its categories in advance and reserves the pieces itself.

Your furniture is valuable. Give it a second life.
