What is the policy for product waste reduction in manufacturing for the Landscape Square table?

In the manufacturing of the Landscape Square table, a rigorous multi-faceted policy is dedicated to minimizing product waste and promoting environmental stewardship. The cornerstone of this policy is Design for Sustainability (DfS), where the table's minimalist geometry is intentionally engineered to optimize material yield from standard sheet goods, drastically reducing off-cuts. The process mandates the use of FSC-certified or reclaimed wood sources, and any generated wood scraps are systematically collected and repurposed. Smaller pieces are used for ancillary components like dowels or sample sets, while fine particulates are compressed into biomass briquettes for energy recovery.

Beyond wood, a strict closed-loop protocol governs auxiliary materials. Metal filings from machining are 100% recycled, and water-based, low-VOC finishes are applied with high-efficiency spray systems to minimize overspray and hazardous waste. Packaging is designed with 100% recycled and recyclable cardboard, molded to the product's dimensions to eliminate filler waste. Furthermore, the policy embraces a circular economy model by offering a take-back program. At its end-of-life, the Landscape Square table can be returned for disassembly; its materials are recovered and redirected into new production cycles or community upcycling projects. This holistic approach ensures that every stage, from raw material to end-user and beyond, actively contributes to waste reduction and resource conservation, making the Landscape Square table a benchmark for responsible manufacturing in modern furniture design.
