JPA Workspaces: Showing How SMEs Can Make a Difference
We create inspiring places to work and learn whilst simultaneously reducing carbon and furniture waste. We do this by providing a range of circular support services include repair-shops, re-upholstery, re-configuration, re-use and re-working. Clients’ redundant furniture landfill is eliminated through community re-homing and certificated materials recycling, with further carbon savings through our local approach and Carbon Neutral operation (Scope 1 & 2 emissions).
We actively reduce the unnecessary harvest of virgin-materials, and additional carbon from manufacturing/transport of frequently replaced items, forging innovative cross-industry partnerships to share resources maximise impact for the benefit of local communities and local environments. #SMEsmakingadifference
