Haworth: rework, repair, recycle, reuse | News | Architonic

Much of the mission for full circularity involves partnering with others who can facilitate the rework, repair, recycle, reuse journey. A collaboration in France initiated in 2021 with Label Emmaüs, a cooperative for eco-responsible e-commerce, sees Haworth’s reconditioned Zody chairs being given a second life and there are plans to grow this service to include more products. It works, meanwhile, with Commercial Interior brand AIS, which is partnering with ANEW to donate used furniture products to schools and charitable organisations.

It is well known that the furniture industry has historically had a high impact on the environment, and it will take all manufacturing companies engaging on all these levels to make a difference – and thankfully, there is now a real urgency among many in the industry to do so.
