LET'S CONTRIBUTE TO A BETTER FUTURE

 

We need green ambitions and high environmental standards if we want to contribute to a better future.

 

We developed a sustainable design guideline in 2011. It ensures that we source raw materials consciously, reduce chemicals and emissions, maximize recyclability, and give our customers the option of returning used HOWE furniture.

 

And we keep moving. Because if we want to change how things are done, we need to raise our ambitions and do better. Day by day. Action by action.

THIS IS HOWE WE
CONTRIBUTE

  • FSC® & PEFC certifications guarantee that all the wood we build with is a product of responsible forestry. 

     

    FSC® Certification is standard for all HOWE veneer chair components – at no upcharge to customers.

    Selected HOWE tables can be made FSC® certified upon request.

  • We develop safe and non-toxic products to reduce emissions and chemicals, ensuring an absolute minimum of both.

     

    Chrome III
    Using Chrome III rather than the commonly used Chrome VI eliminates significant quantities of chemicals.

     

    VOC emissions
    Our stringent VOC emissions testing guarantees that HOWE products contribute to a healthy indoor environment.

     

    Chemical assessments
    Health Product Declaration (HPD), ISO 14025 EPDs, and Global GreenTagCertTM — among other standards — all require assessment of the product’s chemical composition. Through our product chemicals database, we can generate any report requested.

  • We ensure long-lasting product quality and compliance with legal requirements — taking our environmental challenges into account. The solid foundations for our successful strategy are ISO 9001 for quality management and ISO 14001 for environmental management.

  • By introducing the Take Back Option in 2011, we have given our customers the opportunity to return used HOWE furniture to HOWE.

     

    All details regarding HOWE’s Take Back Option can be discussed with HOWE’s Customer Service Team.

SUSTAINABLE FABRICS SELECTION

 

We source our upholstery fabrics from a selection of renowned textile manufacturers, and we have been successively increasing the number of fabrics whose fibers are derived from recycled materials.

 

At the same time, we prize high-quality textiles, like virgin-wool, that meet the desired performance requirements by virtue of their natural characteristics. 


All fabrics are carefully tested and meet the highest criteria set by HOWE.
