GERSTEL SUSTAINABILITY PROMISE

8,259,560 POUNDS

of furniture and decommissioning waste was kept out of landfills in 2024.

WHAT WE PROCESSED

341,100 pounds

resold in our local stores

2,578,000 pounds

of metal recycled

5,340,460 pounds

sent to Waste to Energy Facilities

8,395 TONS

of CO2 was offset by our Zero-Landfill Process.

THIS OFFSETS CARBON EMISSIONS

The amount of annual carbon reduction is equal to:

Increasing 7,639 acres of forest

or

Reducing 1,776

gas driven cars driving a total of

19,394,000

annual miles

REUSE

When we decommission your space, we carefully evaluate the items to determine which can be allocated for reuse.

Some of those items will be resold in our local retail stores. Other items will be donated to local non-profits.

RECYCLE

Metal is stripped and recycled; all other materials are sent to a “burn to energy facility” to generate electricity which allows us to have a ZERO landfill solution.

REDUCE

When decommissioning your office space, you can be confident that we do everything possible to eliminate adding to landfills. A sustainable solution is our top priority.

When we started the business in 1985, we knew we were more than just a used office furniture company. We were pioneers in environmentally-friendly office solutions. Long before sustainability was a buzzword, we were committed to reducing waste and giving high-quality furniture a second life.

Reduce, Reuse and Recycle isn’t just a tagline - it’s OUR strategy.

Eventually, the industry caught up. Businesses and government agencies realized that reusing high-quality furniture wasn’t just practical, it was a powerful environmental choice. Reuse is now a core pillar of sustainability and we’re proud to be leading the way.

Even the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Program from the U.S. Green Building Council agrees and gives points for purchasing locally sourced used furniture.

OVER 4,000,000 SQ. FT. SUSTAINABLY DECOMMISSIONED IN 2024

Our goal is partnering with you for a ZERO landfill solution.

Once the project is complete please inquire for your carbon offset report.
