More than 7% of all landfills in Australia is made up of furniture. That’s 8.5 million tonnes sent to landfill every year. It takes up valuable space and it’s very slow to break down – if it does at all.
The Australian Furniture Association (AFA) has used a Circular Economy Business Support Fund grant to create a guide to buying sustainable commercial furniture. It has also developed an industry sector plan and business case that promotes circularity. It hopes to decrease the amount of furniture going to landfills in Victoria by around 1% (9975 tonnes).
