Divert
Your message has been sent.
Thank You!
The Teknion Divert program is a turnkey service
that provides the people and expertise to help our
customers divert furniture and other assets they no
longer need from landfill by providing them with the
opportunity to sell, donate, and/or recycle them.
Divert was established to help achieve Teknion’s and our clients’ goal of zero waste. Transparent and traceable, this program ensures our clients garner maximum financial and social benefit with minimum environmental impact to themselves and the communities in which they operate.
We accept a wide range of projects and will take
furniture and other assets from any manufacturer, even
if you are not buying Teknion moving forward.
Your Divert Solution
Donate
We maximize the social return of
your assets by matching them
with registered nonprofits in need
of furniture.
- An extensive network of vetted and registered
nonprofits will be tapped into to identify potential
beneficiaries for your donation.
- We aim to donate items within 30 miles of the
decommissioning site, which ensures your furniture
makes a tangible difference in the communities
in which you work and live. Staying local also
minimizes the environmental impact of transporting
your assets.
- Recommendations on the type of nonprofits you
want to work with are encouraged to make your
donation more meaningful and relevant to your
organization.
Recycle
Any furniture that cannot be resold
or donated is disassembled and
recycled in accordance with industry
best-practice standards and at
verified facilities. During this process,
we often recover metals that provide
you with additional financial value.
- All materials sent for recycling are tracked at every
point to ensure responsible and ethical recycling
procedures are followed from beginning to end.
- All recycling and disposal facilities are vetted to
ensure systems are in place for precise separation of
materials to maximize the amount recycled. Any
remaining, unrecoverable material is sent to approved
waste-to-energy facilities whenever possible.
Sell
We sell as much of your furniture
as possible, the value of which
returns to you and offsets
decommissioning costs.
We accept a wide range of projects and will take furniture and other assets from any manufacturer, even if you are not buying Teknion moving forward.
