2030 long-term goal
objective
35% of the waste from our operations
should be sent for material recycling.
2025 Goal
analysis The proportion of waste for material
recycling has increased to 37%, which means
that we’ve achieved our target for the year. At the
Jönköping factory, we’ve installed a purification filter
in the washing process of metal components which
enables us to purify the water and reuse part of it
in the process, which results in a water saving of
approximately 2,600 litres per month, while reducing
the amount of hazardous waste. Leftover sound-
absorbing material is returned to our material supplier,
who recycles it into new material. We’ve also started to
use fabric bags, which we make in-house from fabric
remnants, for transporting plastic seat shells from
our factory in Skillinaryd to Kinnarp. These fabric bags
replace plastic bags and are used again and again.
During the year, our logistics concept has been
expanded to include products from NC Nordic Care,
which reduces not only the need for packaging
material but also the amount of waste by reusing
blankets as packaging material instead of single-use
packaging. Since the concept was expanded to include
all our product brands, we’ve been able to reduce the
use of packaging boxes by about 90 tonnes per year.
* Production in Kinnarp, Jönköping, Skillingaryd, Tranås, Vinslöv and sales subsidiaries.
PROPORTION OF RECYCLED WASTE
FROM OUR OWN OPERATIONS*
Our goal is for all our products to be designed for a long lifespan, and for
our interior design solutions to be part of a circular flow that extends the
life of products and materials. We aim to use more recycled materials in
our products and find innovative ways of using the leftover material from
our operations. This goal is linked to the UN’s Sustainable Development
Goal no. 12 ‘Responsible consumption and production’.
