About Us
Total Homes Co-operative is a social enterprise that supports the circular economy in Scotland. We collect furniture and household goods that would otherwise be sent to landfill, and recycle, upcycle and reuse them. The Total Homes Shop works with local artists, by providing them with a choice of furniture for upcycling, and supporting them to sell their finished pieces.
Total Homes aims to support the Scottish Government to exceed its climate targets, saving harmful CO2 emissions and reducing waste in Glasgow. By working closely with our member charities, we support the local economy in Glasgow and are proud to support local residents by providing employment, volunteering and training opportunities.
Scotland is already a global leader in climate action and we are thrilled to continue this work in Glasgow’s housing industry. Total Homes Co-operative gives housing associations and landlords the opportunity to lower CO2 emissions and contribute positively to Scotland’s green agenda.
Total Homes Cooperative is supported as part of Zero Waste Scotland’s Resource Efficient Circular Economy Accelerator Programme, funded by the Scottish Government and European Regional Development Fund.
Our Mission:
To foster a culture of reusing and recycling of household goods in Glasgow, whilst reducing waste and significantly contributing to the Scottish Government’s targets for reducing carbon emissions.
Our Aims:
- To deliver a transformational business that will be heralded as the benchmark for sustainable housing collection services.
- To lead by example and demonstrate the opportunity Scotland has to shift towards a circular economy.
- Change the direction of waste within Glasgow, away from landfill towards sustainable, recycling and reuse opportunities.
Work With Us
The Total Homes Shop works with artists to breathe new life into loved furniture.
We give well-known as well as lesser established artists the opportunity to choose from our vast collection of furniture in our warehouse, as well as to book into and use our free workspace. Then, they upcycle the furniture and sell it with us through our online shop. Commission and pricing are agreed between us and the artist on a case by case basis.
