Products that are reaching the end of their commercial lifespan are now being given a second chance, thanks to Orangebox Remade. Put simply, Remade products are fully restored to a ‘good as new’ condition, and sold with a warranty matching that of a new product.

By offering the best reuse solution for end of life product now, and optimising the designs of new products to facilitate remanufacture in the future, we aim to offer our customers a truly closed loop approach. This sets down an important marker for the future of manufacturing in the Circular Economy.

The first product to be offered under the Orangebox Remade banner is the G64, one of Europe’s most successful and durable office chairs. The remade version, the G64-R, offers all the precision engineering and ergonomic benefits of the G64, but with impressive environmental and cost savings built in.

An impressive 98% of the G64-R’s parts are recyclable, with removed components either being kept for reuse or returned for material reprocessing. With a recycled content of around 80% (by weight), each remanufactured chair delivers a 60% reduction in C02 emissions and saves 75% of water consumption compared to new.

Orangebox has partnered with Premier Sustain, one of the UK’s leading champions in the remanufacture of office furniture, to deliver this groundbreaking new offer. All Remade products will be remanufactured to an exacting Orangebox-approved specification at the Renew Centre in North London, which earlier this year won the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in Sustainable Development – the UK’s highest accolade for ecological business success.
