Unlocking potential in educational spaces
Furniture Re-Engineering
At Recycle Scotland, we recognise the vital role that educational institutions play in shaping our future. As part of our commitment to sustainability and innovation, we are proud to work alongside universities and colleges across Scotland to re-engineer their existing furniture as an alternative to buying new.
Reduce Environmental Impact
By choosing furniture re-engineering, you actively contribute to reducing carbon emissions and conserving resources. You're extending the lifecycle of furniture while minimising your ecological footprint.
Creative Transformation
Furniture re-engineering is more than just repairs—it's an art form that breathes new life into your space. We provide personalised solutions that optimise functionality and aesthetics.
Cost Effective Solution
We understand the importance of budget considerations in educational settings. Furniture re-engineering allows you to repair and revamp your environment without the costs associated with purchasing new furniture.
University of Dundee
The University of Dundee is one of our key clients in the sector and together we are on a journey of repairing and reupholstering their existing, damaged furniture, ensuring it is fit for purpose and aligns with the University’s values of sustainability.
As an alternative to buying new, the initial stage of the project saved approx. 600kg of furniture from going to landfill and saved over £5,000 for the University.

Keeping furniture in the economy for as long as possible
These university exam chairs had been a staple in the education sector since 1972, providing reliable service for over 50 years.
While many would assume that furniture like this has reached the end of its life, we work with universities and schools who see an opportunity to extend its usefulness, believing in the power of refurbishment to keep furniture in the economy for many years to come.
