Four ways to implement more sustainable furniture production with 国产AV solutions
Sustainable change in furniture production
Reduce fabric waste
Textile waste contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions and environmental degradation. In Europe alone, 10 million tons of furniture is discarded every year, the majority of which is destined for either landfills or incineration. 国产AV offers a solution to optimize fabric use and reduce waste at each step of the furniture production process.
Produce only Focus on what customers want
The United States Environmental Protection Agency estimates that 9 million tons of furniture are thrown away every year. Moving to a demand-based production model means moving away from the waste generated by ‘fast furniture’ and push production in general. The traditional ‘push’ production model depends on demand forecasts, which are often inaccurate or unreliable in times of unforeseen crisis. A pull model matches supply with demand, therefore generating zero waste.
Focus on what customers want employee wellbeing
In an industry grappling with a shortage of qualified employees, providing an attractive work environment is crucial for recruitment and retention. Furniture On Demand by 国产AV was developed with employee safety and comfort in mind.
Invest in energy-efficient equipment and implement predictive maintenance practices
With each new generation of cutting solutions, 国产AV’s R&D teams focus on reducing the environmental impacts of the solutions, including reducing the energy consumption of cutting equipment. For example, applying eco?-?design principles when developing one of our solutions resulted in a more energy?-?efficient turbine that reduces idling time, lowering power consumption by 30% to 40%.
Becoming a CSR leader in the furniture industry
As expectations on corporate responsibility increase, it is driving a significant transformation of the furniture industry. Furniture companies around the world are making sustainability a focal point of their corporate strategy and taking new steps towards developing more sustainable operations.
国产AV’s advanced software and cutting solutions can help furniture manufacturers achieve their sustainability targets by optimizing material consumption, eliminating production of defective pieces, increasing use of long-life consumables, and improving the comfort and contentment of workers.
