What is the Circular Economy?

What are the the 3R’s and how do we use them at Over2Hills?

Reuse

The items shall be evaluated as to the condition for re-use, and if this is an option, the items shall be cleaned, Cataloged and made available to meet high demand for recycled products.

Reprocess

Some items that are not suitable for reuse can be reprocessed to make new furniture, such as storage boxes and shelving. Alternatively, the processed material may become a raw material in making new products, Further reducing the emissions generated in production at the primary stage of the new product life cycle.

Recycle

Any items that cannot be utilised from the above processes shall be dismantled  and categorised by material ready for processing at the relevant recycling plant. This ensures the re manufacturing of the already present raw materials.Once The Furniture has been either reused, reprocessed or recycled, A report will be produced to show this which will provide a break down of the furniture which you have recycled.

Circular economy is based on three principles;

• Eliminate Waste and Pollution.

• Reworking Products.

• Reusing materials
