By incorporating these sustainable materials, we not only contribute to achieving our goal of an 80% reduction in our ecological footprint by 2030 but also support the broader shift towards a circular economy. Our projects, product designs, and partnerships are all geared towards creating a more sustainable and circular future.

For a circular business model, it’s necessary to be able to recycle your end-of-life products into new products of equivalent quality. Using recycled fabrics for our sustainable lampshades, for example, doesn’t mean we already have a circular business model. Recycling is the process of converting waste into reusable material. In our case, this means converting used PET bottles, clothing, and all sorts of production waste into recycled fabrics for our lampshades. However, the circular economy goes right back to the beginning, preventing waste (and pollution) in the first place.

For this to happen in our industry, we have a long way to go. Using recycled products is a very important first step on the circularity ladder as this will contribute to the goal of decreasing our ecological footprint (60% decrease by 2030). Besides this, it stimulates all sorts of new technical developments by increasing the value of recycled products, thereby decreasing the amount of down cycling.

In addition to sustainable materials, we are taking several other steps to reduce our ecological footprint and embrace circularity:

• Implementing energy-efficient production processes:
We are constantly looking for ways to reduce energy consumption and minimize waste in our manufacturing processes. This includes using renewable energy sources and implementing energy-efficient systems.

• Designing products for durability and reuse:
We design our products with durability in mind, using high-quality materials and construction techniques to ensure they last as long as possible. We also design products with reuse in mind, so that they can be repurposed or recycled at the end of their useful life.

• Partnering with suppliers who share our values:
We carefully select suppliers who share our commitment to sustainability and the circular economy, to ensure that our products are produced in a responsible manner. By taking these steps, we are working towards creating a more sustainable and circular future for our company and our customers.
