Building a Circular Economy Through Smart Re-Use

Our approach extends the life of your assets to create maximum value, whether it’s through refurbishment or repair of existing “EFFC&M” (equipment, furniture, fitting components and materials), facilitating matchmaking resale opportunities or holding your assets in ‘pit-stop’ storage until the assets are ready to be reallocated or redistributed.

At GGMS, circularity isn’t just a goal—it’s our mission. We are committed to helping businesses achieve their zero waste targets through innovative, sustainably focused re-use solutions that reduce waste, improve operational efficiency and drive measurable environmental impact.

GGMS provides a range of “EFFC&M” asset management services that actively contribute to a circular economy. Since 2010, we have proudly maintained a zero waste to landfill position, ensuring that resources are re-used, repurposed, or responsibly recycled. This commitment extends across every aspect of our business, ensuring that we are not just meeting industry standards but exceeding them.

Our efforts have led to:

10,000 tonnes of CO2e saved in 2019 alone and 11,000 tonnes between 2020 and 2024.
450,454 items processed, with 54% being re-used between 2020 and 2024, saving our clients a net of £19.5 million.
Continued carbon tracking and reporting to ensure our clients are compliant.

Smart Technology Driving Circular Impact

Our ongoing investment in smart, proprietary software like SmartED-i® allows us to provide intelligent circular economy solutions that empower clients to reduce waste, track asset performance, and make informed sustainability decisions. With real-time data on carbon savings, re-use rates, and cost reductions, clients can embed environmental responsibility into their operations. SmartED-i® also enables transparent and easy sales and donation opportunities.

Circular Economy, Community Benefit

Beyond carbon savings and re-use metrics, our work actively supports communities. GGMS partners with local and national charities and social enterprises, close to client operating sites, to donate suitable surplus assets—ensuring items are not only diverted from landfill but also serve those in need. Through these efforts, we’re transforming surplus into opportunity—delivering meaningful social impact while advancing our circular economy mission.
