"Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." - This is the definition of sustainable development from the UN.
“For me, sustainability means that the Earth’s resources we have inherited and will hand over to our successors will grow, not shrink. With the help of smart and innovative technology, we can ensure that we constantly get more out and consume less. By consuming less, we create the right conditions for a stable, sustainable climate in the long term.”

Our products
Product made with recycled plastic
We work actively to increase the proportion of recycled material in plastic foil, particleboards, and end products. Our vision to make furniture fronts of the highest quality with the next generation in mind obliges us to it.
As part of this, we have developed and manufacture a kitchen door made of reduced amount of wood compared to similar products. It is also foil wrapped with next-generation foil that is 90% made from recycled PET bottles. It weighs less, foil has been developed to be more scratch-resistant and last but not least, the materials in the product are kinder to nature.
The recycling of PET bottles create an opportunity for us to use plastic produced with reduced energy consumption. We have a close dialogue with the suppliers about how we can use more recycled plastic from PET bottles that consumers worldwide return via the deposit system, and ABS plastic from caravans that the industry takes care of.
Our ambition is to continuously increase the volume of recycled wood in the chipboards we use. We are also working on making the particleboards even lighter and reducing material consumption.
In 2022, we maintained a high proportion of recycled material in our products:
Foil: 41% of foil made with recycled plastic in our products
Edging: 48% of edge material contains recycled plastic in our products
Particleboard: 20% of the wood in the particleboards was of recycled origin
