The Refinishing Touch Blog

The US Federal Government has one of the largest inventories of furniture assets in the world. At The Refinishing Touch we literally have hands-on perspective of many of these assets as we’ve completed federal Government projects from courthouses, US Navy bases and US Army barracks, to projects at The White House.

With all of this in mind we are publishing a new whitepaper next week that analyzes government spend on assets. Titled “Government Employees with a Sustainable Future” the TRT-authored paper is undergoing its final polish and will be available on Tuesday, April 14^th.

In it, we review how federal bodies manage furniture assets, and the costs involved - with some thoughts about how the principles of reduce, reuse and recycle could be applied as well as the financial and environmental benefits. We also come to some startling conclusions in terms of savings: recycling and reuse can slash some government expenditure by up to 84%.

At a time when the economy is in recession, it’s vital that governments innovate to ensure the use of the funds and resources at their disposal, and demonstrate a solid commitment to environmental sustainability initiatives.
