The Ocean Cleanup

The Ocean Cleanup project the Netherlands - Nederland

An island fighting an environmental crises:

Bali, the enchanting island of the gods, is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, lush rice terraces, and crystal-clear waters. However, the beauty of this paradise is under threat from the pervasive issue of plastic pollution in our oceans. Recently, during a diving trip around Nusa Lembongan, we witnessed firsthand the devastating impact of plastic waste, with alarming amounts of debris littering the water.

Our Commitment to Environmental Protection:

At Furniture4rent, we believe in taking responsibility for our environmental impact. That’s why we are dedicated to minimizing our ecological footprint wherever possible.  One of the ways we do this is by carefully separating our waste and ensuring it is correctly processed by delivering it to recycling centers.

But more important, one of our key core principles is the promotion of a circular economy, where products are reused rather than discarded after a single use. By offering gently used, yet still excellent quality furniture packages at a special, low price, we not only help the environment but also provide our customers with cost-effective options.

Our Donation to Ocean Cleanup:

In addition to reducing our own environmental impact, we are committed to supporting initiatives that address plastic pollution on a larger scale. That’s why we have chosen to donate a portion of our proceeds to Ocean Cleanup, an organization dedicated to cleaning up plastic waste from our rivers and oceans. Led by a passionate team with a “can do” mentality, Ocean Cleanup is making tangible progress in tackling this global crisis.

By contributing to Ocean Cleanup’s efforts, we are playing our part in restoring the health of our oceans and creating a cleaner, more sustainable future for generations to come.

How You Can Help Too:

We urge you to join us in the fight against plastic pollution. Here are some simple steps you can take to make a difference:

  • Reduce your plastic consumption by opting for reusable bags, bottles, and containers.
  • Participate in beach and riverbank cleanups to remove plastic waste from our shores.
  • Support organizations like Ocean Cleanup through donations or volunteer work.
  • And of course… if you move to the Netherlands as an expat, don’t buy your furniture but rent it!

Together, we can make a positive impact and safeguard the beauty of our planet for future generations. Let’s unite in this mission for a cleaner, healthier world!

Join us in creating a brighter future for our planet!

How we ensure a circular economy

How we ensure a circular economy - Mindful entrepreneurship

Eco friendly furniture Netherlands

Throughout the year, we deliver many furniture packages, most of which are new from the factory. All of these furniture pieces are well-packaged to prevent transport damage. This is essential, but the consequence is that there is a lot of packaging material left over after unpacking. Cardboard, plastic, Styrofoam… you name it. Piles of waste!

Separating waste

Because we at Furniture4rent Netherlands believe in a circular economy, we make sure that all this waste is separated and disposed of. Either our transporter takes it away, or we dispose of it ourselves. All this waste is then (separated) offered to the waste processing service.

Reusing furniture

But we do more! Of course, we make sure that the furniture can be rented again. Nothing goes in the trash, but is cleaned and repaired where necessary. We make sure that the furniture is in top condition again so that it can find its way to a new owner. During the transport of such a “second-hand” package, no disposable materials are used anymore, but everything is transported in reusable moving blankets. This keeps the furniture undamaged and prevents unnecessary waste of packaging materials.

Nice additional benefit for our customer of these “second-hand” packages… these can be rented at a lower monthly rental price! How nice is that?!

Donating

Some products we always deliver new, such as blankets and pillows. This is for hygiene reasons. But after use by our customer, these are certainly not thrown away! These are offered to the Salvation Army and/or church once a year. After all, they are still great products, so why throw them away?

And, if we ever need to phase out a piece of furniture, we don’t just toss it. Instead, we offer it for free to the thrift store, where it can find a new home and continue to bring joy and comfort.

In short;
  • Separate disposal and collection of all packaging materials
  • Reuse of rented furniture packages
  • Donating bedding to the Salvation Army and/or church
  • Giving away current items to the thrift store for free

At Furniture4rent Nederland, we believe that sustainability and style go hand in hand. By choosing us, you can have the best of both worlds. Let us help you make your next move a stylish and eco-friendly one. “Let’s move and rent!”

Our packages

What our customers are saying about us:

"JP was simply tremendous to deal with, went over and above time and time again..."

"Moving to a new country can be a very stressful time with so many things to attend to. To be honest, almost every aspect of my move to the Hague was stressful except for one...my furniture rental. JP was simply tremendous to deal with, went over and above time and time again, was very quick to respond to my questions prior to my move to the country and once in country. I felt very looked after and the personal care and service he and his team provided was second to none. I am very satisfied with the quality, look and feel of the furniture package delivered. I would certainly use this company again in a heartbeat and recommend them to anyone. Very stress free, personable and overall great experience. Nice to know there are still companies like this out there. Well done!"

Rick - Canada

"Furniture4Rent is by far one of the best companies I have dealt with while setting up my arrival to the Netherlands."

"They were extremely friendly and accommodating to my needs and wants to ensure that I would be happy with the furniture for my apartment. They were easy to contact and would reply to any of my questions within hours. When arriving to the Netherlands they took the extra steps to ensure that my apartment was ready when I got to it. I would recommend anyone to use this company for renting furniture any day of the week."

Shelby - Canada

"It was an amazing work experience with JP, from the quotation email to the delivery date."

"Recently I've moved to the Amsterdam and after struggling with finding an apartment there was another problem to furnish the place, yes another pain in the neck for a new comer, especially when you've already started working, it's hard to manage your time. It was an amazing work experience with JP, from the quotation email to the delivery date. There is nothing that you feel you should take care of. Just adjust date and time and you will have what you want! To be precise and summarised, JP an and his team are friendly and professional."

Reza - Iran

"The quality of the furniture is high, process seamless and we are very happy"

"We recently furnished our family home through Furniture 4 Rent. The communication & service from the start of my contact with F4R was great. We managed to have a package sorted and moved in within a week of contacting JP & his team. It is really a service where you can just move in and start living - just what we needed! The quality of the furniture is high, process seamless and we are very happy. Thank you!"
