Sustainability and durability focus

At SMUPI, sustainability and durability are at the core of our modular furniture system. We are dedicated to promoting eco-friendly practices throughout our design and production processes, ensuring that our furniture contributes to a more sustainable future.

Stainless Steel

A key aspect of our sustainability efforts is the careful selection of materials. For the connecting components, we prioritize the use of durable stainless steel. This not only ensures excellent longevity but also reduces the need for frequent replacements. We offer the option for our licensees to choose alternative materials such as recycled plastic or reinforced plastic through 3D printing, providing them with the freedom to align with their sustainability goals.

Neodymium, Ferrite, and Stainless Steel Spheres

When it comes to the spherical permanent magnets, we prioritize the use of neodymium or hardened magnetized ferrite, depending on the specific application. However, in instances where magnetic properties are not necessary, we also offer stainless steel options. This flexibility allows us to cater to different design requirements while maintaining our commitment to sustainability.

Bamboo

Our dedication to sustainable materials is evident in the choice of bamboo composite boards for our flat board and cabinet modules. Bamboo is a fast-growing and renewable resource that offers exceptional strength and durability. By utilizing bamboo composite boards, we reduce our reliance on traditional wood materials, mitigating deforestation and preserving natural habitats.

Mycelia

In our pursuit of innovative and sustainable solutions, we are exploring the use of mycelium-based materials. By growing fungi on organic waste substrates, we can create sustainable and biodegradable materials for various furniture applications. This approach supports a circular economy by reducing waste and harnessing natural processes.

Long Fiber Board

Another sustainable material option we employ is recycled long fiber board. By repurposing discarded wood fibers, we give new life to materials that would otherwise end up in landfills. This reduces waste and contributes to the conservation of valuable resources, while still offering durability and functionality.

Natural Resin

To further minimize our environmental impact, we prioritize the use of non-petroleum-based resins. Instead, we opt for resins derived from natural sources or recycled materials. These alternatives offer similar performance characteristics while reducing the carbon footprint associated with traditional petroleum-based resins. Our goal is to strike a balance between affordability and sustainability, ensuring that our furniture remains accessible without compromising our commitment to the environment.

Natural Latex

When it comes to upholstery, we rely on natural latex derived from the sap of rubber trees. Natural latex is a renewable resource that provides exceptional comfort and support. It is biodegradable and compostable, aligning perfectly with our mission to reduce waste and promote sustainability.

Natural Textiles

Our pillow covers are crafted from renewable and biodegradable natural fibers, including cotton, hemp, and linen. These materials not only contribute to the sustainability of our products but also offer a soft and luxurious feel, enhancing the overall comfort of our furniture.

By incorporating these sustainable materials and production techniques, SMUPI creates furniture that is both environmentally friendly and built to last. We believe that design has the power to make a positive impact on the planet, and our commitment to sustainability is evident in every aspect of our modular furniture system. Join us in embracing sustainable living and furnishing your spaces with SMUPI’s eco-friendly and stylish furniture solutions. Together, we can create a more sustainable and beautiful future.
