Why recycle?
Shop fittings are made from a range of valuable material such as metal, plastics, fabrics and timber. When stripped-out shop fittings can be deconstructed and separated into these material streams, they can be recycled. If the fittings remain are intact, they can be refurbished and/or resold. Recycling, refurbishing or reselling shop fittings diverts large waste items from landfill and provides others with quality well-priced shop or office pieces.
What happens to them?
Shop fittings are dismantled and stripped out in a systematic process, which involves separating the materials into different storage bins, such as plastic, timber and metals. These materials can then be processed for recycling. The metals and plastics can be shredded and used in new products, while the timber may be turned into wood chips.
