Sustainability & Our Circular Promise
Our need for new furniture and good design, supporting daily needs, will continue to evolve, as our lifestyle changes. We shouldn't stop improving our everyday lives and design new furniture. Instead, we ought to produce, distribute and consume differently – with greater care. Good design must continue to bring joy and presence. We aim to clearly explain the efforts we make to help you live sustainably.
There is too much hot air when it comes to sustainability. We are different. Aiming to clearly explain the efforts we make to help you live sustainably, we believe in transparency and recognised external certification. We strongly believe that transparency and external certification is important for you as a consumer. This is the only way for you to ensure that there is substance behind it all. We can only encourage you to look for facts and recognised certifications with any brand you consider engaging with.
Our Circular Approach
Source Responsibly
We are committed to breaking the unhealthy throw-away culture around furniture. It generates unnecessary waste, requires lots of energy, and pollutes our environment.
Craft to Last
Good furniture is not a fashion item. Good furniture is worth caring for and handing over to the next generation. From early design to final crafting, this has been our focus from day one.
Design for Life
ZIPARK furniture is designed for circularity. Our component-based approach makes a big difference – it allows shipping in less volume, full repairability of all parts, upgradability, and allows materials to be separated for proper recycling.
Close the Loop
When you decide on the ongoing life for your furniture, we suggest a certain hierarchy to what ways to explore first. It is much better to reuse or repair furniture than it is to recycle materials.
Our Priorities
Repair
We offer comprehensive repair services for all our furniture. Every piece is designed with repairability in mind, using standard components that can be easily replaced or restored.
Upgrade
Our modular designs allow for upgrades and modifications. Change fabrics, add components, or reconfigure your furniture as your needs evolve.
Reuse
When you're ready for something new, we help find a new home for your ZIPARK furniture through our pre-loved program, extending its life cycle.
Recycle
As a last resort, our furniture is designed for proper material separation. Wood, metal, and fabric can all be recycled through appropriate channels.
Our Circular Promise
We promise to stand behind every piece we create. From repair services to our pre-loved program, we're committed to keeping ZIPARK furniture in use for generations. This isn't just sustainability—it's a relationship built on trust and responsibility.
