The
idea for BlueGreen&Co. came about in January 2008 when Allan McIntyre
and John O’Leary spoke with Furniture
Plus management about intercepting their waste materials to make new,
'hybrid' furniture.
They quickly secured a design office and 2,000 sq/ft workshop space at
Inverkeithing, Fife from which they now work and experiment with materials
and various innovative production techniques.
Of the items donated to Furniture Plus each year, 12-14% is sent to landfill.
By taking this waste and turning it into desirable, sustainable furniture,
BlueGreen&Co. are helping to further save on landfill, contributing
to the push towards a Zero Waste Scotland.
