Why recycle furniture ?
Every year, millions of tons of furniture end up in landfills. Yet, the majority can be repaired, reused, or recycled. At Enviro Plus, we believe that nothing is ever truly "to be thrown away"—just like the people we support.

9 million tons of furniture
are discarded every year in North America.

Local statistics
Approximately 85 tonnes of furniture diverted from landfill sites per year.
90 tonnes of CO₂e saved (equivalent to 410 to 415 round trips Moncton–Montreal by plane).
Since our beginnings, we have saved more than 1000 tons of furniture from the landfill.
Environment & social mission .
Saving furniture is also saving lives. By giving objects a second chance, we create a space to restore hope to marginalized people, training them in a safe and empowering environment.
Data to calculate your impact .
- CO₂ emissions from furniture: Producing a new piece of wooden furniture ≈ 100 kg of CO₂.
Producing a sofa ≈ 300 kg of CO₂.
Recycling or reusing furniture = saving 80 to 90% of these emissions.
- Burial volumes : On average, a sofa = 1.5 m³ of buried volume.
10 sofas saved = an entire truckload of landfill avoided.
