Abstract

Career transitions often lead young migrants to relocate, necessitating frequent disposal of furniture. Therefore, furniture rental offers a practical solution to this recurring issue. There is a need to establish sustainable furniture rentals to accommodate the unique needs of young migrants. The researchers used a 'Literature Review Synthesis Process' to analyse and integrate the collected information. The aim was to discover optimal solutions to address the challenges of furniture rental for young migrants, ensuring they no longer need to concern themselves with furniture disposal during relocation. The findings indicate that adopting sustainable materials is a strategy to fulfil the criteria of sustainability, cost-effectiveness, transportability, hygiene, dependability, aesthetic appeal, and damage recompense garners with significant approval.
