End of Life Program

Introduction
As part of our commitment to sustainable practices and environmental responsibilities, Global Total Office End of Life Program offers a comprehensive assortment of services and programs.

Goal
Our goal is to re-distribute, where possible, redundant product to national and international programs that will assess the most appropriate life cycle channel available as an alternative to sending furniture to landfill.

Strategies – Recovery Opportunities
Global Upholstery Co. Inc.'s integrated network of dealers will work with our customers to select, from various options, the program that fits their needs. The list is in order of highest value recovery:

Reuse - re-distribution of redundant product to resellers and/or national and international programs supporting schools, charities and environmental organizations. Options such as Global Upholstery's third party programs offer the highest recovery value to our customer.

Refurbish - product is designed to be easily refurbished rather than replacing existing furniture. From incorporating new product components, such as fabric on panel systems, a range of options are available to suit budget and aesthetic requirements.

Recycle - product that cannot be reused or refurbished through our programs can be recycled using licensed recycling facilities. Recycling facilities have been identified in each major region.
