Norwegian brand Vestre is setting a precedent that will hopefully inspire radical transparency in the furniture industry and beyond, as it is committing to listing every product’s CO2 emissions. The company generated Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for its entire product portfolio, which makes it easy to see the amount of energy required to create each design.
According to the brand, “Vestre is the first furniture manufacturer in the world to record environmental impact in this way… We do this to be open and to help both end clients and architects to make more informed decisions.”
Across a variety of industries, from food and beauty to tech accessories, brands are helping to make consumers more aware of individual items’ carbon footprints.
