Half a recliner arrived — the other half got lost in transit.
Another one showed up slashed — someone went a bit too Zorro with the box cutter.
Two write-offs. Two items destined for landfill. Case closed, right?
Not in our warehouse.
Our team looked at both, looked at each other, and said: “Hold my screwdriver.”
The result? A fully functional, surprisingly elegant Frankenstein recliner. Two cup holders. Full recline. Zero waste.
Is it pretty? I’ll let you judge. 👇
Is it sitting in a landfill? Absolutely not.
This is what recommerce actually looks like. Not the polished version. Not the keynote version. The real, hands-dirty, problem-solving version.
Every day at ARLL/ ASAP we take what others write off — and we find a way. Because the most sustainable product is the one that doesn’t get thrown away.
Two rejects walked into a warehouse. One recliner walked out.
Should I add the retail value was 499.99 euro and we have resold it for 299.99 the retailer recovered 149.99 instead of zero??
