Recycling or Reselling

Due to the high content of steel, contract furniture can often be easily recycled or remanufactured into new product.

Waldner’s helps you assess your existing furniture and determine a disposition plan that offers the best environmental benefits and value.

Refurbishing

At Waldner’s Business Environments we offer a host of services to get your old product looking like new again.

Existing product can be
• Reupholstered
• Refinished
• Repainted
• Blended

… with new furniture to create exciting new spaces while never touching foot in a landfill.

Donating

Waldner’s helps you find local charitable organizations that can reuse and repurpose your existing product.

We have successfully worked with many companies helping them donate their product to schools, churches, fire departments, and other deserving organizations.

Your Environment Affects Your Wellbeing

Standing Desks

A recently-released workplace study “Stand Up to Work: Assessing the Health Impacts of Adjustable Workstations” compared people who work at height-adjustable desks to those with traditional workstations. Over a 12-month period, the study found that height-adjustable standing desks are linked to increased productivity, better concentration and improved overall health. Check out the Ology and Airtouch height-adjustable desks.

Fabric

A more subtle way to incorporate biophilic design is in the fabrics you choose for your space. Steelcase brands Coalesse and Designtex partnered to create a series of organic patterns, calming colors and natural textiles that reflect nature’s soothing properties.

Greenery

The calming effects of plants have been proven to reduce employee stress and anxiety. Living walls are modular, flexible and scalable, and design options are endless. Sagegreenlife, a Coalesse partner, helps companies create that “oooh” moment in the office that inspires people while bringing them closer to nature in a completely new way.

Lighting

While we all crave natural light, not every office comes with windows. Steelcase has partnered with renowned Italian lighting designer FLOS to offer a line of unique, modern lighting solutions. Featuring pendants, sconces, table and floor lamps, each piece combines beauty and technology with a sense of play to transform any office.
