At Huddlespace, sustainability is not a trend—it’s a core principle that shapes every decision we make. From product development and supplier selection to packaging and aftercare, we are deeply committed to reducing our environmental footprint and supporting a circular economy that values longevity, reuse, and responsibility.

We work closely with all of our suppliers to ensure they meet or exceed current environmental standards and regulations. Transparency, traceability, and accountability are key. Our partnerships are built on mutual values, especially when it comes to resource conservation, ethical manufacturing, and waste reduction.

• 95% of the wooden and panel-based products we supply come from FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council) certified sources, ensuring responsible forest management and full chain-of-custody traceability.
  
  
• The remaining 5% includes specific imports—primarily from China—where FSC certification is not currently verifiable. We are actively working with our international suppliers to close this gap and improve sourcing compliance.

Since our inception, Huddlespace has been a proactive environmental contributor. This commitment led to the creation of a sister business dedicated solely to the resale of quality, pre-loved furniture. By refurbishing and rehoming items that are no longer needed, we extend their lifespan and prevent them from entering landfill.

Our goal is simple: keep as many products in use for as long as possible.

• We champion durability and longevity, encouraging our clients to invest in higher-spec, longer-warranty products that break away from the "throwaway culture."
  
  
• Where items can’t be reused or resold, we responsibly recycle all materials we can. For example, all plastic wrap and cardboard packaging are collected and processed by local recycling facilities in Manchester.
  
  
• Any residual items are offered to local charities, community initiatives, and start-ups, giving products a second life while supporting social causes.
  
  

Huddlespace is actively working toward a 0% landfill target. This means no furniture item should ever be simply discarded. Our internal reuse and recycling protocols are continually evolving, and we're proud to say that the vast majority of materials we handle are already diverted from waste streams.

In 2023, we formalised our Social, Environmental & Responsibility (SER) Policy to align with international best practices and benchmarks. This framework supports our efforts not just to do less harm, but to do more good.

Our next major milestone? Becoming carbon neutral by 2026. We are actively investing in carbon reduction strategies across our operations—from transportation and logistics to energy use and material choices.

Choosing Huddlespace means choosing more than a supplier—you’re choosing a partner that values environmental stewardship as much as you do. Whether you’re furnishing a new student accommodation development or upgrading an existing site, we’ll help you do it in a way that’s ethical, efficient, and environmentally responsible.

Let’s build spaces that last—and leave a lighter footprint on the planet.
