MULGEO's values
The environment is our priority and our number one value is sustainability. That’s why we develop and produce with green design principles in mind – sustainable and long-lasting products that are useful and multi-functional.
Circularity, the idea of minimizing waste and emphasizing recyclability in the production process, is crucial in our brand philosophy. That’s why we follow our product journey from manufacturing to recycling into new materials.
We believe in the power of smart products and sustainable, quality materials. Our goal is to encourage people to integrate these innovative products in their homes and with that, create a close–to–nature ambiance; wherever they live.
Our box-chairs initially solved a practical problem in a restaurant we owned: we wanted the guests not to worry about their belongings when they were enjoying their meals. So we created a box compartment with a durable seat on top, combining our ideas with storage and seating functions in one product.
Later we have extended the collection to different sizes. And we aren’t stopping there: we still develop and broaden our product range with new sustainable solutions for interiors.
MATERIALS
MULGEO box-chair is made of a multilayered, glued cardboard called Kraftliner. This is one of the most durable and sturdy paper types out there and of course: it is fully recyclable. Kraftliner allows the material to carry up to 350 kilograms / 770 lbs.
This material is FSC-approved, and it ensures that our suppliers are responsible for replanting the trees in Sweden – a core idea of circularity. There is a myth that paper made from recycled fiber is a more responsible choice than paper made from fresh fiber. The fact is that without fresh wood from sustainably managed forests, the world would eventually run out of paper.
Why? Because after several uses, recycled fibers get too short and worn out and have to be replaced with fresh ones. The good news is that the fresh fiber we use is truly sustainable.
The bio-industry or incineration with heat recovery offers an elegant, environmentally friendly solution, releasing only a minimal amount of CO2. |
PRODUCTION AND TRANSPARENCY
The production of MULGEO furniture is a process without CO2-emissions and the only waste materials that occur are pieces of die-cuts, which are recycled after production. Handles, for example, are recycled in creating new designs.
The production process starts with the raw material – namely wood from Swedish forests. The wood then is converted into Kraftliner, and later sheets with the help of a cutting machine. At the final stage the MULGEO boxes get their signature rounded cubic shape.
Our whole supply chain is based in Europe – we design in Denmark, source in Sweden, and produce in Europe. |
THE LONGEVITY AND CIRCULARITY
We strongly believe that our customers will enjoy using our furniture just as much as we do! We are aware that wear-and-tear will happen with use – it is part of its nature.
All our customers have 5 years of warranty on all of the box-chairs purchased at MULGEO.com We also provide a buy-back option at 20% of the original cost price. The take-back service is provided in collaboration with Papiruld Danmark that produces insulation granulate for the construction industry. |
