Case study Circular Economy: reWood – Sustainable design through the reuse of wood

Initial situation:

At a time when the environmental impact of production and consumption is increasingly coming into focus, consumers are looking for sustainable alternatives for their homes and living spaces. Many furniture and furnishings are made from freshly felled wood, which contributes to deforestation and environmental pollution.

Challenge:

There is a need to create sustainable furniture solutions that are both aesthetically pleasing and environmentally friendly. The main question is how to produce high-quality furniture without consuming new resources or unnecessarily polluting the Sustainable World.

Solution approach:

reWood, a company from Switzerland, has taken up this challenge. Instead of using new wood, reWood produces furniture exclusively from discarded wood. Each piece of furniture is manufactured in a workshop in Switzerland. By reusing wood, trees remain in the forest, transport routes are minimized and the local economy is supported. In addition, reWood offers its customers the option of customizing furniture according to individual requirements in terms of size, color and finish.

Inspiration for SMEs:

reWood is a shining example of how companies can have a positive impact on the Sustainable World through creative and sustainable solutions. It shows that it is possible to successfully combine design, functionality and sustainability without compromising on quality.
