Every year, millions of tonnes of perfectly usable furniture and equipment is discarded. Waste to Wonder Worldwide exists to make sure it never reaches landfill, but changes lives instead.

Waste to Wonder Worldwide is a certified social enterprise and registered charity that collects surplus furniture and equipment from corporations and puts it to work in schools, hospitals and communities that need it most. Through its School in a Box programme, it has donated £55 million-worth of goods to 1,700 schools and charities across 50 countries.

Waste to Wonder Worldwide operates with a 97% reuse rate, zero waste to landfill, and is the world’s first organisation to achieve Platinum carbon certification from Neutral Carbon Zone. In 23 years it has changed the lives of over 1.5 million people. The gap between corporate surplus and global need remains vast – and Waste to Wonder Worldwide intends to close it.
