Every consumer product industry is adapting to the demand from the growing market awareness around the benefits of sustainable manufacturing processes. Products need to be kinder to the planet and improve the relationship with our natural environment.
The interest in environmentally sustainable furniture has been growing in recent years and it’s a trend that shows no sign of slowing down.
A recently published study by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) showed that sustainability is a crucial factor among three-quarters of consumers buying furniture.
Getting It Sustainable From The Start
The true foundation for sustainability lies in the concept of the furniture piece. Ideally, the design should be simple but highly functional, using few yet high-quality materials and it should be able to be made with as little energy and as little waste as possible. Ideally, the finished piece should be made to be made again and also follow key circular design processes. Recyclable/recycled material, FSC wood, etc.
Technology boosts sustainability in the design process. Twinbru’s 3D modeling service takes the initial design sketch and creates a digital model where the proportions and dimensions of the design can be accurately visualised. It’s state-of-the-art digital prototyping that saves time, energy, money and requires no physical materials so, no waste and a smaller carbon footprint.
Standards You Need To Know
Twinbru boasts an extensive digital fabric library of market-ready fabrics. Many of these fabrics comply with internationally recognised standards. These standards include:
How Twinbru Contributes To Sustainability
Our library of digital fabric twins actively contributes to greater sustainability within the furniture manufacturing industry. Digital samples are more environmentally sustainable by negating the need for sample books and, in the next three to four years, our goal is to reduce the CO2 produced in creating fabric samples – about 47,060 metric tons - by up to 80%, thanks to digital transformation.
