FOCUS AREA:

Raw materials and resources

With the help of a cyclone in the powder coating

of metal components, we can make use of overspray

of powder paint and reuse approx. 80% for lacquering

again.

 In Skillingaryd, we cast the plastic shells for the

Leia chair, and when we change the colour in the

machines, for example, some of the shells may get

discoloured or acquire other blemishes. Because

the quality and strength are the same, we use these

shells in upholstered seats instead of throwing them

away, which saves both material and energy.

 Through collaboration with one of our suppliers,

we recycle waste pieces of ABS plastic strips from

our production in Kinnarp. This enables us to recycle

about 1.5 tonnes of ABS plastic per year, which

becomes a raw material for the plastics industry.
