office chair emissions: rental versus purchase
Sustainability is becoming more and more critical to the choices your organization makes. More and more companies are also making conscious choices about office furnishings. After our recent life cycle analysis (LCA) of the Xenium office chair finally provides an answer to the question: is renting more sustainable than buying?
Why perform an LCA?
Identify your impact: an LCA provides detailed insight into the environmental impact of a product throughout its life cycle. From raw material extraction to production, use and eventual disposal. This helps companies understand where the greatest environmental impact occurs and where improvements can be made.
Sustainability goals: many organizations have set sustainability goals, such as reducing CO2 emissions or improving energy efficiency. An LCA helps quantify and monitor these goals so that companies can take targeted action to reduce their carbon footprint.
Alvero uses the results of this LCA to make our services more sustainable. One step at a time.
The result: over 30% less CO2 emissions
Renting a Xenium office chair instead of buying it results in 31.3% less CO2 emissions. Frequent maintenance of this rental furniture also extends its lifespan, helping to reduce waste and resource consumption. Because we like to provide insight into the sustainable benefits of renting, Alvero invites you to download the full LCA report of our Xenium office chair.
