Project: 500 Bourke Street, Melbourne VIC 3000

With Australia's largest consignment of more than 13,000 items, Sustainable Office Solutions Pty Ltd was asked to take on the project of sustainably removing, rehoming and recycling 36 floors of commercial office furniture and ceiling tiles to achieve an 80%+ overall re-homing target, moving towards making the building greener and more sustainable.

We completed the removal phase of the project within a 15-week period, which required a long-term storage and management solution to store items for the ongoing rehoming and recycling phases of the project. As part of the solution, we expanded our storage capabilities by acquiring a 3500 square metre facility specifically for the rehoming and recycling phase of the project.

As part of our efforts to reduce landfill, we donated over 150 fridges, dishwashers and microwaves to various charities such as Habitat for Humanity International and West Welcome Wagon as well as providing Zoos Victoria with furniture from the project. Additionally, we donated more than 400 pallets of ceiling tiles to local building companies to be reused in apartment complexes across the City of Melbourne.

Being industry leaders in the rehoming and recycling of office furniture, Sustainable Office Solutions present a cost effective and environmentally friendly option for large scale redevelopments of multi-story buildings.

With over a decade of experience in the field, our team can efficiently manage large projects such as this as our furniture removal team specialises in projects in Melbourne’s CBD. Having already worked in many of the high-rise complexes in the city, we were well-prepared to handle any challenges that may have arisen from this project.
