Since the first Earth Day celebration in 1970, this day has helped to raise environmental awareness around the world just a little bit. Today, we celebrate the beauty of our planet and take the time to once again focus on environmental issues. Nevertheless, today we would like to highlight some impressive progress and achievements in the European furniture industry, which is moving step by step towards greater sustainability and resource efficiency.
→ FSC-certified wood: The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) has established a certification system for sustainable forest management. Around 190 million hectares of forest worldwide are already FSC-certified. In Europe, the use of FSC-certified wood in the furniture industry has grown steadily, reflecting increasing environmental awareness and the desire for responsible forestry.
→ Environmentally friendly materials: The industry is increasingly using recycled and environmentally friendly materials such as recycled plastic, bamboo or cork to reduce its ecological footprint.
→ Energy-saving production: In recent years, the furniture industry has been able to significantly reduce its energy consumption and thus reduce its environmental impact.
→ Circular economy: Upcycling and recycling initiatives help to minimize waste and extend the life of furniture.
We are aware of the resource intensity of the furniture industry and are committed to helping conserve resources and be responsible stewards of our planet through efficient software solutions. Through our focus on innovation and sustainability, we support the reduction of environmental impact and work together with our partners towards a more sustainable furniture industry and thus a healthier planet.
