- #10 Envirotech is networked with approximately 300 brokers of commercial furniture across North America. They have established businesses in the major urban centers of New York, California, Florida, Texas and others. This affords us immediate awareness of trends in the secondary market and information about product availability. Envirotech can act as the ‘eyes and ears’ for clients who are seeking a particular product on the market that they have been unable to buy. We can scout for it, put reserves on it for a client, arrange transport and install. High quality products become available from clients who are down sizing, changing existing furniture standards, divesting themselves of assets, merging, restructuring or going out of businesses. It is a normal part of the business cycle.
- #11 AFFORDABLE CREATIVITY Remanufacturing allows you to exercise an affordable form of creative freedom Create the size and the finishes that you want Match your current furniture or create new standards
- #13 Envirotech is an industry leader in re-manufactured furnishings. This is evidenced by the fact that we have retained our own in-house manufacturing capabilities while many of our competitors rely upon outsourcing to resolve all of their remanufacturing requirements. The quality of product that Envirotech offers the market has steadily increased over the years. The client is receiving Grade ‘A’ products for value pricing. The client can upgrade to a premium product at an affordable price. We are raising the expectations of clients seeking pre-owned furniture. We have a deficiency rate of less than 1%. This is a higher rate of excellence than that typically provided by many manufacturers of new product. . We deliver exactly what the client asks for – and no less. This is very different than dealing with a pure broker who simply flips whole inventories of pre-owned products regardless of whether you need the whole lot, or whether all the products are in good condition.
- #14 Assessment of Grade ‘A’ Products Envirotech will visit on-site to verify the resale potential of products that are available for resale. Resale value is influenced by variables such as product quality, age, classic or non-classic design, colour, type of finishes etc. If these variables are undesirable, they will drive the price of the product down. Older systems furniture that is of a classic design and in good functional shape may be bought with the intention of refurbishing it. Refurbishing will increase the price of this product to the client because of the extra labour and materials. Assessment of Grade’B’ Products If a product is deemed to be of Grade ‘B’ quality, we would not buy it. We would contact individuals such as Ray Lockhart ( 905 602 1234) to provide the load-out service for the client. Ray works with a network of lower-end dealers who can sell the product to a lower segment of the re-Pre-Owned market. He may also choose to sell the product on consignment. Companies such as Ray’s may offer to split the profits with the client or simply clear the product out at no cost to the client.
- #17 Each year, U.S. businesses discard approximately 3 million tons of furniture (Environmental Protection Agency) incurring estimated disposal costs of $100 million dollars. Each piece of furniture then takes several hundred years to break down. As they break down, they emit methane gas which is the major contributor to the build up of greenhouse gases. One of the defined targets in the Kyoto Accord is to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases that are created from solid wastes. Manufacturing processes for new products is very energy intensive. The amount of labour and energy required to remanufacture an existing product is 85 – 90% less than that required to manufacture a new product. Using pre-Pre-Owned products is a wise environmental solution. A typical Grade ‘A’ furniture system has a life span of 15 – 20 years. Clients often turn them over before this due to changing styles, colour, cosmetic finishes and functionality. Classically designed Grade ‘A’ systems can continue to provide solid performance for an extended length of time – and can be cosmetically enhanced to give them a fresh face.
