Repurposing of fabric offcuts The actions we take to expand our infrastructure also help us eliminate the consumption of packaging ma-terials in external logistics. Examples include: > expansion of the flat-pack furniture packaging line at the Office Furniture Factory in 2021 - packages with furniture and semi-finished furniture products are now automatically transported by a conveyor system from the assembly hall to the Finished Products Warehouse. Previously, products were stacked on pallets, wrapped in foil, and transported by forklifts. The installation of the conveyor allowed for a reduction in foil usage by approximately 30% in the transportation between the production hall and the finished goods warehouse; > expansion of an assembled furniture production line in the Office Furniture Factory in 2022/2023 with roller conveyors enabling furniture transport directly to the Finished Products Warehouse. > construction of an approx. 300 m long connecting section between the Armchair and Chair Produc- tion Plant and the Finished Products Warehouse in 2022/2023 allowed for the elimination of packaging materials needed in road transport. The investment projects listed above also have an added environmental aspect to them. For the production line expansion at the Office Furniture Factory, it involves the reduction in electricity consumption, as previously described. Thanks to the construction of the connecting section, on the other hand, we have avoided CO 2 emissions from transport previously carried out by two truck sets on a total route of 4 200 km per month. 144 Table of contents
