The Big Picture

Rejuvenation's culture is defined by core values that include treating the environment fairly and with respect. Founded in 1977 as an architectural salvage retailer, we have long demonstrated a commitment to recycling and reuse.

"It's part of who we are," says Alysa Rose, Rejuvenation President. "We feel strongly that we have both an opportunity and an obligation to try to make things better through our actions."

It starts with Rejuvenation employees. A cross-departmental, employee-run Sustainability Committee ensures that we incorporate sustainability principles throughout our operations. That includes everything from our big-picture manufacturing practices - like the clear coating system shown above which significantly lowered our VOC output - all the way down to the little details such as replacing paper-wasting salt-and-pepper packets with large containers in the lunchroom. We're pleased that the company's efforts have inspired some of our employees to take a Voluntary Simplicity class in their free time.
