Sustainability since 1899
The forest and access to wood was one of the main factors when Edsbyn began in 1899. At an early date, we were economically (and ecologically) conscious of making the most of our raw materials. The Fanett Windsor chair, of which over 5 million were sold, was produced from waste wood from our ski manufacturing.
Waste wood is today supplied to the power station. EASE, our latest screen system, is primarily manufactured from recycled textiles and PET bottles. We still think about recycling, now as then.
Edsbyn was the first office furniture company approved for the Nordic Ecolabel, and our products are approved according to Möbelfakta. This confirms that our production and furniture fulfil the requirements set in terms of environment, quality and social responsibility.
Reuse is encouraged by Edsbyn’s timeless modern design, which resists the changing tastes of fashion, together with high product quality maintained throughout the entire life-cycle. This facilitates reuse, which is coordinated with our resellers.
At Edsbyn, we work constantly to improve our processes and furniture production – in order to be the obvious choice for those who select office furniture on the basis of environmental and sustainability factors.
