Sustainability Initiative Furniture-reUse

Second life for used furniture

Source: Sustainability Unit TU Graz

TU Graz offers the opportunity to pick up second-hand office furniture from the university‘s warehouse twice a year.

For a voluntary donation, you can get pieces of office furniture that

  • are no longer in style
  • have minor imperfections

By giving office furniture a second chance, you are not only conserving resources but also supporting a social project. All proceeds from the first event in fall 2024 and the second event in March 2025 went to Odilien Institut. You‘ll find out which project will be supported by donations from upcoming events here soon.

Furniture-reUse takes place twice a year, in early October and late March. On the viewing day you can inspect and reserve pieces of furniture. The Furniture-reUse team is on hand to answer any questions and assists with reservations.

Please note that you are responsible for your own transportation. Direct access is possible.

Our tips for pick-up

Measure your future pieces of furniture when making a reservation. Consider bringing a second or even a third person to help you carry the items.

Useful for transport:

  • Tape / masking tape
