Hi everyone! My name is Jess, and I am one of the co-founders of Resourceful Living… the other co-founder is my amazing husband! But this blog isn’t about him, its about me!
Welcome to our site, and welcome to our blog. I want to give you a bit of insight into Resourceful Living and who I am behind the brand.
Geoff and I have set out on a journey of change, both personally and professionally. We want people to embrace the environment and make more conscious decisions when choosing furniture and other products for their homes.
We have 3 young boys! Our littlest was born on the same day the website launched 1 October 2021!
- When did you start your business?
Resourceful Living began in May 2021, when it was time to take charge and do something crazy like manufacturing plastic into brand new products.
- Why did you decide to become a business owner?
I want to make a serious change in the environmental space, and I felt the only way to do that is to form a business where I am the owner.
- What was your mission at the start of your company?
Provide people with an alternative to cheap chipboard furniture. The recycled plastic idea came from a desire to help the environment and the plastic crisis that is currently happening.
- How many employees does your company have?
Currently, we have 1 employee plus my husband and myself. We are looking to expand which is very exciting!
- What products do you offer?
We sell household and office furniture made right here in Newcastle Australia.
- What are your company’s goals?
To become the largest recycler of plastic in Australia.
- What made you choose to start a company in this industry?
Our love for the environment and need for education on buying behaviours. The only way to make change is to start the change.
