Sustainability by Taiga

Experience the beauty of sustainable timeless design

The concept of the ‘natural workspace’ has been a touchstone for Taiga from its earliest beginnings. As we draw our inspiration from nature, our duty is also to respect it. We do this by designing sustainable products that are meant to last, and can be repurposed multiple times. Sustainability and eco-consciousness drive our day-to-day decisions, from product development through to end customer.

Certified materials

Taiga is committed to using the highest percentage of organic materials, maximising the use of wood, and minimizing metals. All of our wooden elements are sourced from FSC-certified suppliers, meaning you can trust that our products are created without compromising the environment. Our philosophy of stewardship extends to all of our materials, including our carpet made from recyclable nylon and our upholstery fabric, which is made from 100% postconsumer recycled polyester. We ensure that the materials we utilize are safe and sustainable, backed by the appropriate certification to demonstrate their quality and safety standards.

Manufacturing with renewable energy

Taiga workspaces are manufactured in Northern Europe. By choosing environmentally conscious partners, we have been able to significantly reduce the impact of our production on the environment.

We have chosen our main manufacturer based on our shared approach and values when it comes to the environment. They exclusively purchase their electricity from solar farms, ensuring it is sourced from renewable sources. This results in a very low impact on our carbon footprint. To account for possible fluctuations in solar availability and back-up requirements, our consultants have created the LCA with renewables accounting for 90%. Even with this 10% of energy coming from the generic grid, the carbon footprint from our manufacturing process remains low.

Localised supply chain

We closely monitor the length of our supply chain and strive to keep our supply chain as short as possible, focusing on suppliers in close proximity of our main manufacturer. The distances in our supply chain are kept as short as possible – from the sourcing of raw materials to shipping the products to our clients. 

Reuse & recycle –Extending the life of our workspaces

Modular by design, Taiga workspaces are moveable and repairable. Many moving parts are easy to replace – extending the life of our products. Timeless design and carefully considered functionalities further ensures the usability of our products far in to the future – providing a platform for unique needs and rapidly developing technology.

Taiga workspaces don’t just have one life, but they can serve various purposes and spaces during their life time. We are experienced in relocating products from one place to another, and  together with our partnership network, we aim to ensure that our workspaces find a new place in case of a relocation.

Used workspaces hold their value, and are sometimes sold on secondary markets. While developing our maintenance services, we are also experimenting with rental models to better accomodate a circular approach.
