General information about the recycling of office furniture
Recycling is one of methods of the environmental protection. Its aim is to reduce the consumption of natural resources and reduce waste.
The concept of furniture recycling means the recovery, which is based on reprocessing of substances or materials contained in rubbish in the production of goods.
The main goal is to get back the original substances or materials and use them again to manufacture the same or other products.
The principle of recycling is to maximize the re-use of the same materials, and at the same time to minimize the recovery expenditures. A good recycling of office furniture protects natural resources that are used to recover the materials used to make the original product and the raw materials used for further processing and production.
Recycling takes place in two areas: production of goods and the subsequent formation of waste. The international and European law force producers to appropriate attitudes conducive to the usage, in the production process, the most recyclable materials and to the creation of appropriate behaviour of the recipients of the final products.
