Corporate Sustainability Impact Report 2024
Our mission more than just to create design, but to drive change. Explore our impact and see how we practice our philosophy: "Furniture For Good".
Our Circular Impact in Numbers
Kg Waste Transformed
Post consumer E-waste (keyboard Black), fishing nets (Fisherman's Green), and Injection pens (Pharma Blue) have been transformed into new, valuable design furniture.
Lower CO₂ Footprint
Our R.U.M. chair has significant lower climate footprint compared to using virgin materials.
Designed for Recycling
All parts of the R.U.M. chair can be returned and fully recycled via our Take-Back System.
B Corp Certified
We balance purpose and profit, meeting the highest standards of social and environmental responsibility.
Spotlight: The R.U.M. Chair
Our signature chair, R.U.M. (Re.Used.Materials.), is the ultimate proof that waste is a resource. It combines Scandinavian design with a radical approach to sustainability.
From Waste to Value
The process is complex, but the goal is simple: Nothing should go to waste. We collect waste that would otherwise pollute and transform it into durable and aesthetic furniture.
One chair = 142 discarded insulin pens
We transform Pharmalit waste into a strong and durable material.
... or discarded fishing nets from the ocean.
We help clean the oceans by transforming 'ghost nets' into design.
Distribution of Recycled Materials
Exemplification of 7,500 kg of recycled waste.
The Road Ahead: Our Next Goals
Sustainability is a journey, not a destination. We are dedicated to continuous improvement and set ambitious goals for the future.
20% Growth in Recycling
We aim to increase the amount of recycled waste by 20% in the coming year through new partnerships and technologies.
Fully Circular Collection
Our goal is to expand our Take-Back System to cover our entire furniture collection, ensuring no product ends up as waste.
Reduced Supply Chain Footprint
We will work closely with our suppliers to identify and implement further CO₂ reductions across the entire value chain.
Strengthened Social Bottom Line
As a B Corp, we will improve our social impact score with a focus on employee well-being and local engagement.
