At Shire we are commited to the concept of:
- Reduce
- Reuse
- Recycle
We are proud to take responsibility for the packaging that protects our new furniture during delivery. After the product has been assembled by our experienced team, we remove the packaging and all but a tiny percentage of it is sent back to the manufacturer where it is recycled.
Here is an example of the recycled content* and recyclability** of some of our desking and seating components:
