Full Circle

Full Circle is an exclusive resource recovery program developed with ANEW, a non-profit organization dedicated to extending the life cycle of surplus furniture, fixtures and equipment (FF&E), architectural materials, and building assets in an economically, socially and environmentally responsible way.

Program Summary

Full Circle is designed for customers who are looking to avoid landfill when decommissioning furniture or surplus assets from a space
Based on the customer’s goals, ANEW will develop a proposal of landfill diversion options
Options include: reselling, recycling, and/or repurposing surplus, as well as converting unusable surplus to clean Energy-from-Waste
No other take back program is as comprehensive as the Knoll Full Circle program

Case study:
Murphy Oil, Calgary Canada

Overview

Edmund Lee, an independent Knoll representative (Insight Agencies, Canada), engaged the Full Circle program on behalf of his customer, Murphy Oil. The customer needed to decommission more than 200 office suites, rolling files and furniture.

Goal

The client was interested in ensuring that as much of the furniture and equipment could be diverted from landfill as possible, and they wanted to track the results. Economics were also a driving factor.

Outcome/Metrics

ANEW presented their decommission strategy of solutions. Ultimately the customer chose to resell 76 suites and dismantle/recycle 120 suites
Total diverted from landfill: 34.6 tons (resale/reuse: 28.5 tons, recycle: 6.1 tons)
Client achieved a 30% cost savings while reducing their impact to landfill through resale and recycle of their surplus furniture
