Your one stop shop for everything table!
World Wide Tables is a non-profit organisation devoted to the preservation, conservation and population management of the humble table.
Every table produced in North America, Europe and Oceania has a tag embedded somewhere in the table (ususally the table top). 25 years after the table was manufactured, the tag goes off and tells us when and where the table is. We go to the location of the table, take it, and then execute it. This helps keep the table population at manageable levels.
Q: How many people work for your organisation?
A: Over 250,000 people throughout the US, Canada, UK, France, Germany, Australia and New Zealand.
Q: How does World Wide Tables eliminate old tables?
A: [redacted]
Q: I have a table that is nearing it's end of life, but I want to keep it for longer. Can I?
A: Yes. To be able to own a table past it's end of life date, you need to register it with us. Flick us an email, or visit us at our physical address to suss this out.
Q: The table I have is past it's end of life, but hasn't been destroyed yet. Can I sell it?
A: First of all, we prefer the term 'eliminate'. Second of all, No. You cannot sell a table if it's past its end of life.
Q: I live in Cape Town, South Africa. Does my dining table have a tag in it?
A: No, but by 2025 we hope to have 80% of the worlds table population tagged. At current, only 63% are tagged.
