Establishing a Furniture Leasing and Refurbishing Resale Platform

Through the servitization of office furniture, ESG.STYLE provides customers with a more flexible solution than purchasing furniture to solve office furniture waste.

When tenants of commercial offices move into a new office, most of them choose new office furniture and decorations, causing a substantial quantity of office waste. ESG.STYLE minimizes the generation  of office furniture waste by offering furniture-as-a-service and integrating repair, remanufacturing, and resale channels.

Furniture-as-a-Service

Through a furniture-as-a-service model, ESG.STYLE can not only prevent waste, but also effectively utilize idle resources. For customers, it also reduces the expenses associated with maintaining, cleaning, repairing, and disposing of furniture. Standard furniture rental agreements deliver higher flexibility. Users can choose to rent and return furniture at any time (time flexibility) and with preferential rental prices (financial flexibility). ESG.STYLE is currently partnering with like-minded organizations to implement this business model.

Resale

When consigning second-hand furniture through the platform, a consignment agreement will be signed with the user, and separation, pricing, and consignment services will be provided based on the actual condition of the furniture.

Repair/Maintenance

ESG.STYLE provides a simple and fast repair calling system, and has professional repair technicians who can evaluate and arrange professional repair processes for different types of furniture and damage situations.

Refurbishment/Remanufacturing

The Repair Hub located in the IKEA XinDian Store assesses the collected second-hand furniture or furniture that needs to be refurbished according to the damage scope specified by the internal regulations, and refurbishes it to a suitable condition for the next person renting it.

Benefits

  • Using leasing services for office chairs, for example, can reduce at least 90% of carbon emissions compared to purchasing new ones [1].
