Sustainability green footprint

Our Commitment 


Sustainability &
Sassy’s green footprint

Sustainability means so much to us at Sassy here how renting furniture can help reduce the impact on the environment.
At Sassy we are so mindful of what our impact as a business is on the environment, but you may be surprised to hear that renting furniture, when staging a property, styling a show home or relocating, helps reduce our impact on the environment verses alternative options. 

Here’s why:
I was shocked to read a recent blog by Energy Live News that gives some disturbing facts about furniture production. For example, an average piece of furniture generates around approximately 47 kilogrammes of carbon dioxide, which is roughly the same amount of greenhouse gasses produced by burning around 5.3 gallons of petrol!
Sofas take the top spot in terms of carbon footprint, generating around 90 kilogrammes of carbon dioxide equivalents, with foams and fillings making up more than 40% of this! You can read more about this here Could the real enemy of climate change turn out to be furniture? - Energy Live News

Renting furniture from SPS
This is why at Sassy we have always offered a furniture renting service to home owners selling their home, developers who are staging new properties, and estate agents needing to display a property to its true potential. Renting our top-quality furniture than buying cheap furniture that will then be discarded afterwards, is more affordable in the long run and better for the environment. 

We invest in high quality furniture for the whole house that is durable and can be used again and again. We know that every time we rent out an item of furniture it is saving on wood, metal and upholstery materials that go to make new furniture and this reduces our carbon footprint significantly. It also means that less is going into landfill.
Even when an item of furniture and/or furnishings is no longer useful to SPS, we do not take it to the tip, we take it instead to one of our local charity shops in Wigton, or Hospice at Home in Carlisle to sell on and be loved.  

Our Commitment 
Has always been that as the Sassy furniture hire/rental business continues to evolve, we are committed to reviewing all our actions that we can take both individually and as a business to help reduce our impact on the environment.
