Joyce Contract Interiors is proud to showcase these clients who have made the ‘green’ choice by installing remanufactured and or refurbished office furniture. Since 1990, Joyce Contract Interiors has been following a green business model by keeping used but still viable office furniture out of overcrowded landfills. We have been giving new life to previously owned Haworth, Herman Miller, and Steelcase office cubicles and furniture in Massachusetts. HOW OUR PROCESS WORKS Recycle/Reuse We strip the fabric from the metal panel (frame). The old fabric is then reused as packing material to protect the panel components after they have been refurbished. The panels are then refurbished with a new fabric chosen from one of more than 100 standard Terratex fabrics which are beautifully made of 100% recycled materials and remanufactured using increasingly sustainable processes. Refurbish Metal frames and components are inspected, sorted and repainted for reuse. If they fail inspection, metal or aluminum pieces are brought to the appropriate scrap yard for re-purposing. Steel goods such as file and storage cabinets, shelving, etc. are sanded and repainted. Wood furniture, such as desks, conference room tables and bookcases are sanded and refinished.
THE END RESULTS - SUSTAINABILITY Everyone Wins
The environment wins because we are re-using furniture and furniture parts, keeping them out of landfills. Our Clients win because they purchase and receive quality engineered furniture that looks brand new at a significant cost savings.
