Green Standards

Millions of tons of office furniture and supplies are sent to landfill each year. We're here to change that by capturing value in workplace change.

See how @AXA_XL partnered with Green Standards to sustainably decommission multiple floors in #NYC's financial district.

Employing the principles of a #CircularWorkplace, Green Standards diverted AXA's surplus FF&E from landfill through resale and specialized recycling, while making in-kind donations to 7 local #nonprofits including @citytechcuny

[Milliman, Inc. @millimaninsight]

🌱Social impact in action: Milliman partnered with @GreenStandards to sustainably downsize our Seattle offices. Together, we met our goal of diverting 100% of items from going to a landfill—34.13 tons! This is how we turn everyday decisions into lasting impact.

As we wrap 2024, our clients deserve a ton of thanks. Or more accurately, 10,455 tons of thanks, since that's how much office furniture, fixtures, and equipment they've kept out of landfill.

[Green Standards @GreenStandards]

This #GivingTuesday, we salute all the organizations that have prioritized community donations in their sustainable decommissioning plans. In 2024 to date, we've distributed $5,027,085 worth of their furniture, fixtures, and equipment to 1,008 non-profits in the Green Standards Charitable Network — a new record in our company's 15-year history.

[CharityVillage @CharityVillage]

Calling all #nonprofits! @GreenStandards offers a unique way to acquire gently used furniture, fixtures, and equipment from Fortune 500 companies at no cost, allowing you to focus your resources on what truly matters: your mission.

Kudos to Andrea Vanecko at @NBBJDesign for this excellent overview of how designers can build the #circularworkplace

"While the building industry is having much needed conversations about sustainability through the lens of embodied carbon, energy and water use, there’s another often-overlooked culprit when it comes to generating waste. And we’re literally sitting on top of it."

What do you know about #ITAD and why does it matter?
According to Stephanie McLarty of @QuantumRecycles, electronics reuse saves between 7 to 21 times the emissions over recycling.

What role does surplus corporate furniture have in alleviating the housing crisis?

Borden Place, a space for sustainable transformation in downtown Toronto, shows how donations facilitated by Green Standards can be directly used to support supporting the unhoused and underhoused population in a major metropolis.

Our very own Jonelle Waugh sat down to interview Borden Place's Alana Jones about the incredible work they do.

If you want something done, ask a facilities manager!

Because FMs make the workplace world go round, our CEO, Trevor Langdon went on @MikePetrusky 's excellent #WorkplaceInnovator podcast to help make that world go circular.🔁

Our first hire in #APAC will be a familiar face to key players in #CRE, workplace, and sustainability across the region: Victor Maningo has held senior roles at International WELL Building Institute (IWBI), Haworth, and AECOM, where he's consistently proven a deep commitment to our core mission of eliminating workplace waste.

With his energy and expertise, we're one step closer to that (admittedly gigantic) goal in the most dynamic region in the world. Welcome, Victor!

What role do design firms play in promoting reuse?
At @GreenBiz’s Circularity conference, @Haworthinc’s Katie Chapman shared her perspective during our Circular Workplace panel.
