2 cm can make a difference for the environment and price tag

When we choose the dimensions of a table, we open the door to a world of possibilities, where every centimeter can make a difference in many ways. It is a journey about making wise decisions that affect both our economy and our planet.
Let us take you on a journey of dimensions and their impact, because your choice can make a difference.

It is well known that furniture is a necessary part of our lives, less known that the extraction of materials from nature is a significant source of carbon dioxide emissions in their production. According to RISE (Research Institutes of Sweden), this accounts for almost 60% of CO2 emissions in the furniture manufacturing process (over 70% if it is a metal furniture). This is a reminder of how important it is to make smart choices when creating our furniture.

THIS IS WHERE IT GETS INTERESTING

Let's take the example of Desktop linoleum, a fantastic material that is manufactured on a roll with a width of 1800 mm. Imagine you need two tables with dimensions of 2000x900 mm, but what happens if you stopped at 880 mm in width? This is where it gets interesting. A table with dimensions of 2000x900 mm generates a considerable amount of waste, over 50% actually. It's like throwing away half of the valuable material.

FROM 50% TO 10% - WITH 2 CM

If the choice of dimensions is instead 2000x880 mm, our waste is dramatically reduced to about 10%. That's a huge difference, both economically and environmentally. By using the right dimensions, we reduce the waste of valuable resources and minimize the need for additional material production.

It is a reminder of how our choices have the power to create change. Every centimeter less waste is a greater effort towards a more sustainable future. By taking responsibility for our decisions, we not only save money but also reduce our impact on our one planet.
