CS2 DOING THE RIGHT THING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH COLLECTECO FURNITURE DONATION

CS2 are proud to have recently partnered up with Collecteco for the recently completed CAT A Refurbishment Works at Verulam Point.

Collecteco collects and reuses all the redundant office furniture and fit out items such as desks, ceiling tiles, partitions and the even carpet tiles.

Some of the key impacts of this scheme included:

• 4,216 items/7,440kg diverted from landfill
• £21,180 worth of kit donated to the community
• 49,124kg of CO2e avoided

One of the organisations benefitting from the scheme is The Ledward Centre who are an LGBTQ+ Community and Cultural Centre who received the reused carpet tiles donated to them by CS2. They said: “The carpet tiles have saved us several thousand pounds and will support our community centre for many years to come. Thank you!” – Duncan Lustig-Prean, Centre Director

The scheme is something that CS2 are extremely proud to be involved in, with 22 million pieces of furniture are discarded each year in the UK only 15% is reused. Furthermore, funding is under Immense pressure for Charities, schools, NHS trusts & other good causes, with a £12.5bn loss of revenue to UK charities alone during Covid-19. The scheme is good for the environment, business and the wider community.

In partnership with Patrizia, CS2’s impact is summarised below:

• £21,180 – Value Donated to The Community
• 4 – Good Causes Supported
• 49,124kg – CO2e Avoided
• 7,440kg – Diverted from Landfill
