Ever considered where your office furniture goes when you move, downsize or relocate? The answer is often landfills. But there is no such thing as ‘away’. When we throw anything away, it must go somewhere.

With SOS services and solutions, each project can save an average of 41,596kg of carbon emissions, equivalent to about 248 flights from Hong Kong to Singapore. By relocating existing glass partitions or embracing pre-loved office furniture, you can save costs, reduce waste, and promote a sustainable work environment. To support your corporate ESG goals, we also provide Impact Reports detailing the environmental and social implications of every project.

SOS provides a comprehensive service for redistributing office assets sustainably. We conduct a thorough site inspection, identifying items that can be reused in your new space and those that need to be redistributed.

Contact our sales team today for more information! 💚

At SOS, we understand the role of a circular economy in helping to reduce carbon emissions and meet climate change targets. We work with businesses to provide a customised, detailed inventory management program that includes audit and onsite communication, dismantling, furniture removal, and inspection on function and condition, as well as a final impact report containing embodied carbon and weight data and documents the destinations to support client’s ESG reporting and a full summary of project process and impact.

Our solutions have a direct role to play in reducing the embodied carbon of office relocation and renovation by reducing the need to buy new furniture and ensuring furniture is repurposed, redistributed to the needy, and recycled responsibly when they reach its end-of-life.

Whether your office is looking to relocate or renovate, SOS is here to help.

The SOS team and JEB Group visited Eco Park and Y Park yesterday where we gained valuable insights around the future of a circular economy and learnt about industrial symbiosis within the Eco Park Ecosystem, as well as the transparent handling of all recycled materials collected by the tenants in Eco Park.

Shout out to Cosmo Lo who arranged this trip for us. Also, thanks to Keith Lai, the Senior Environmental Protection Officer of EPD for giving us an in-depth introduction of Eco Park, and Rashina, the guide of Y Park, who shared so much knowledge with us about recycling yard waste such as how Y Park is turning waste into resources through the production of processed wood logs and wood boards.

Global Recycling Day aims to raise awareness about recycling and promote recycled materials as the 7th resource that people should consider using. By recycling, more than 700 million tonnes of CO2 emissions can be prevented each year, helping to safeguard our natural resources.

At SOS, we support a circular economy and promote the recycling of office furniture and equipment. We collect high-quality office assets and repurpose and redistribute them to help create a more sustainable future.

Contact us now to get to know how we can work together to divert office assets from landfill.
