The Value of Sustainable Decommissioning
Environmental Value – Keeping Resources in Use
Green Standards keeps more than 98% of furniture, fixtures, and equipment out of landfill through a unique combination of resale, strategic recycling, and charitable donations, customized to fit every item and every project. Each project comes with detailed environmental data to benchmark performance and complement waste reporting.
Social Value – Benefiting Your Communities
In-kind donations are as important to non-profit organizations as monetary gifts, allowing them to better focus their resources on their core mission while making their workspaces safer, more functional, and more welcoming. Green Standards simplifies the process by helping turn potential waste into community donations.
Governance Value – Measuring and Maximizing ROI
Accountability, accuracy, and transparency are critical to workplace decommissioning projects. Green Standards’ cloud-based reporting helps us mitigate risk, track progress, and share the impact of our work with stakeholders. Detailed metrics include waste diversion rates, CO2e emissions saved, and more.
