Circular economy for office furniture
Circular economy for office furniture
Our Challenge
In the office furniture sector, many resources are still being wasted and new office furniture is usually not designed for reuse, repair, refurbishment or recycling. At the same time, the way we work is changing rapidly and constantly and requires office furniture that is modular, adaptable and recyclable. Bringing our ideas together, we want to engage on this topic, trying to identifiy approaches and solutions that bring the biggest impact to a sustainable office furniture sector in Europe.
