Encore by Welltek: Circular-Economy Furniture for the Modern Workplace
In today’s world, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a business imperative. Encore by Welltek is leading the charge in creating circular-economy office interiors: restoring used desks, chairs, workstations, carpet tiles, and more to ‘like-new’ quality, with zero landfill waste. From office buy-back services to asset tagging, Encore supports companies in reducing carbon impact while enhancing workplace wellness
Built for the Circular Economy
Encore’s services include:
Reconditioned Carpet Tiles & Furniture Reconditioning: Restore used materials to factory-fresh state—saving CO₂ emissions and extending product lifespan.
- Remanufacture: Fully refurbishing premium ergonomic chairs (like Vitra, Herman Miller, Humanscale, Knoll, Sedus, Haworth) to be as good as new.
- Repurpose: Transform outdated desks, chairs, and more into new designs with fresh functions and aesthetic appeal .
- Asset Tagging System: Each piece gets a QR-coded “Circular Economy Passport” with data on age, origin, sustainability credentials, and service history
Buy-Back Program: Save Resources & Recoup Value
Encore offers a chair buy-back service: businesses can sell back quality chairs—Herman Miller Aeron, Vitra ID, Humanscale Freedom, Sedus Swing Up—for refurbishment and resale. It’s a win‑win: clients recover some value, and Encore ensures these durable investment pieces continue delivering value instead of ending up in landfill
Measurable Sustainability Impact
Encore’s environmental outcomes are impressive:
Chairs: With just 40 kg CO₂-eq of embodied carbon—lower than a new chair.
Carpet Tiles: Reused tiles register under 1 kg CO₂-eq per m², compared to 4–5 kg for new tiles .
Zero Landfill Pledge: Any unfit furniture is either repurposed or donated to social housing/community projects.
Quality Assured
Encore isn’t just repurposing; it’s renewing with confidence. Reconditioned items carry up to 5-year guarantees, while reconditioned carpet tiles come with 1–2 year warranties from manufacturers.
Cost-effective: Skip paying full price for new—pay less for high‑end, fully restored pieces.
Sustainability: Align with ESG, Green Building, and WELL standards. Encore’s EPD‑certified products support WELL certification goals.
Traceable: The QR Asset Tagging system offers full transparency into provenance, material makeup, repairs, and certifications.
