is a non-profit organization that has a mission to locate clean, re-usable materials (called “clean scrap”) and redistribute these items as valuable educational and artistic resources. These items are typically discarded by businesses and households. In the minds and hands of creative individuals – teachers, artists and children – these “clean scraps” take on new life, beneficial to both children’s learning processes and the environment.

Lots of ideas for recycling and reuse of things we don't want..
Green-Works is radically changing the way society thinks about waste. We ensure that redundant office furniture from the commercial world can be made readily available to the non-profit sector. We also offer waste audits, training, environmental consultancy and compliance advice. By preserving valuable resources, we protect the environment, create real jobs and help regenerate communities across the UK.
