Responsibility as part of the design process
The environmental approach to design is deeply embedded in our daily lives. Our skilled designers are meticulous when selecting the materials that make up our products. They take into account things like the materials’ environmental impact, their lifetime and how to make the best use of them.
We take pride in minimising waste when designing Sebra products. This means that we are fully aware of all the standard dimensions of the fabric, wood, etc. supplied to us, and incorporate this knowledge in the design process in a way that makes optimum use of the resources.
Quality products that can be recycled
Sebra products are excellently made from quality materials. This means that our products can be used for many years and by several generations, or resold when you don't need them anymore. We have always adopted this approach to sustainability – we simply want as many people as possible to enjoy a Sebra product before it ends up as waste.
We choose our suppliers carefully, and it’s important to us to build long-term relationships with each of them, where trust is the cornerstone of the co-operation. That's why we visit our suppliers and get to know them to make sure we share the same values. Our suppliers should, as far as possible, be certified so that we can push our environmental efforts in the right direction.
Shipping & packaging
Our products are manufactured in several countries around the world, making international transport a natural part of our supply chain. When planning transport, we prioritise solutions that ensure reliable deliveries and safe handling of our products. In this context, we generally choose sea freight over air freight.
Unfortunately, we cannot avoid plastic packaging during shipping because we want the products to arrive safely and not be damaged by e.g. water during the journey.
Instead, we encourage our suppliers to use as little plastic as possible, and we’re constantly working with them to find better solutions.
Spare parts that extend product lifespan
To help extend the lifespan of our products, we offer spare parts for our iconic Sebra Bed and other selected Sebra furniture and products.
In this way, our customers can get exactly the part they need, extending the product’s lifespan and avoiding unnecessary disposal.
