we have been putting sustainable thinking into practice for many years
Well before the turn of the century, Alvero has believed in using rather than owning. We express that on 4 levels.
Renting is sustainable
The concept of renting is essentially sustainable, whether it's furniture or any other product. When you rent furniture and no longer need it, we come and pick it up and put it elsewhere. When you buy, new raw materials are needed each time. In addition, manufacturing processes create emissions. Rental and redeployment avoids the waste of raw materials and limits emissions to transportation only. No piece of furniture goes unused.
An extended life for furniture
Alvero maintains, cleans and repairs our office furniture, giving it the longest possible life. Or rather multiple lives in different locations. Our workshop uses innovative materials and the latest techniques for maintenance, keeping furniture looking like new and lasting. The chair you're sitting on could be ten years old without you even noticing. Sustainability can be that easy.
Responsible purchasing
We buy new items only when there is no other way. After all, our stock of used furniture is not infinite. Alvero has strict requirements for what we buy. We include only quality furniture from A-brands in our inventory, so we can guarantee a long life. With every purchase, we test a product for circular properties. Much of our furniture is C2C. Your desktop may be made from waste, the chair you sit on may have been a pair of jeans in a previous life.
Meet Alvero Furniture Management
Larger organizations easily lose track of their office furniture. All too often we see unnecessary investment in furniture that is still present in another location. We believe in making maximum use of what is already there. To make that easy, Alvero Furniture Management shows you instantly what you have on hand. This in-house developed system uses RFID tags and an online dashboard for real-time overview. Alvero Furniture Management is your key to data-driven facility management. Moreover, it is packed with valuable sustainability data on raw materials, CO₂ emissions or the maintenance needs of your furniture. No matter what you want to know, Alvero Furniture Management makes it transparent.
Circularity: the future is round
Sustainability requirements are only getting stricter. Governments have mandated themselves to be fully circular in terms of facility by 2030. The CSRD sets stringent circularity requirements. Sustainability is a factor that cannot be ignored when designing your work environment. Embrace sustainable design of your work environment as well. We guarantee it will bring you more than it costs.
