Repurposing of used furniture, electronic appliances and carpets

• Used office furniture and electronic appliances (129,230 kg) were assessed to be in good condition and redistributed to various charities/NGOs or recycled by a third-party vendor that estimated 236,131 kg CO2e avoidance.

• 10,660 pieces of used carpets (100% of the original carpets in CapitaHub) were assessed to be in good condition, and were repurposed and deployed at NGOs and dormitories by the vendor.

Recycling and use of recycled products

• ~63 kg of coffee grounds and tea leaves were collected from the office’s social pantries. An appointed vendor would collect and process these coffee grounds and tea leaves and upcycle them into compost and/or material for cups. The vendor is currently working with a local polytechnic to produce a table with over 50% of its composition made of coffee grounds.

• ~350,600 used bamboo chopsticks were collected and processed by another vendor and transformed into two commissioned tables as well as timbre finishings for its main reception area and walls of selected meeting rooms.

• The internal staircase raisers were made from waste wood chips (oak trees that have reached end of life) amounting to 117 kg of wood waste recycled.
