In this episode, we dive into the circular economy of the workplace with Heidi Frasure , Head of Sustainability at Green Standards. The conversation explores beyond the traditional "buy-and-toss" mentality to a regenerative "closed-loop" model. We break down solutions for corporations to divert massive amounts of office furniture from landfills through donations and remanufacturing, and strategic redistribution.  Music by Brock Pilgrim https://music.apple.com/au/artist/brock-pilgrim/1700530763
