Circular Economy -redesigning furniture in a responsible way

What goes around, Comes around is the new mantra in the furniture industry. With a vision to redefine sustainability in the design and furniture domain, craftsmanship has adopted new ways of manufacturing products in a responsible way. The concept of circular economy is not limited to the development of recycled products. Instead, the vision of this concept is to balance renewable resource extraction and consumption rates with the rate at which the Earth is able to regenerate. Besides this, finite resources like metals, plastics, and rare earth elements remain in use indefinitely. This is achieved by creating a cycle of use and reuse. Both inputs, in terms of materials or energy, and outputs, like waste and emissions, are kept to a minimum.

Furniture makers like IKEA, Modus furniture, LX Hausys have adopted to the circular economy model in product making.

Key pillars in circular economy:

1. Remove waste as well as pollution
2. Renew natural system
3. Circulate products as well as materials

The secret to adopt a responsible business model lies in practicing to reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills and incinerators and stop the contamination of the ecosystems by switching to an economic model that accounts for waste and pollution. The aim is to concentrate on the design phase and stop waste before it starts. A change from causing less damage to the environment to actively restoring nature could help repair the damaged world and decrease the rate of biodiversity loss and climate breakdown.

The recycling cork collection by Modus furniture is a unique craftsmanship that reduces waste produced in the wine corks manufacturing industry. The Quiet chair is another environment friendly innovation and it is made it in a unique way that reduces negative impact on the nature.

A  variety of innovations in the furniture industry today adopts responsible ways to minimise environment impact.
