We have replaced protective plastic corners with ones made from cardboard. We are discontinuing foamed plastic profiles to replace them with cardboard profiles. In addition, collective packaging of products can save as much as 1.8 kg of cardboard per single desk! This means cost savings for us and less waste for cus-tomers buying our products. In 2021, we started implementing 55-layer 12 micron machine stretch film in production, replacing the pre-viously used multi-layer 17 micron film. As a result, we have reduced the amount of stretch film that needs to be recycled after goods are unpacked by about 30%. We continue fitting our production cells at the Armchair and Chair Production Plant with pre-stretch film wrappers which can stretch film up to 300%, thus reducing its consumption by 15% at each cell. We strive to use materials which do not contain harmful substances and have limited impact on the environment as they degrade. We manage our use of chemicals in accordance with the REACH directive and we label our products and packaging in accordance with the CLP regulation. We always consider the environment when packing the final product. A change of the logistics system for some shipments, which involved replacing pallets with the so-called corlettes, has allowed for a significant reduction in the consumption of foil, cardboard and pallets. Previously, assembled finished products were placed on pallets and secured with film for transport to the warehouse. Then, in the warehouse, they were repackaged onto the final carrier. Currently, for some orders that will ultimately be transported on corlettes, we change the carrier already at the production cell. In this way, we can avoid unnecessary operations and waste of packaging material. Transport on corlettes 145
