Our Commitment to Environmental Sustainability
At Nutrend, we are deeply committed to minimising our environmental footprint through thoughtful and responsible design. Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do, from the materials we choose to the production methods we employ. By prioritising both ecological responsibility and the well-being of individuals, we create products that stand the test of time, both in function and aesthetic.
Designing for the future
Sustainable design is about more than just reducing environmental impact—it's about crafting enduring products that serve today's needs while preserving resources for the future. At Nutrend, we focus on minimising harm throughout the design and production process, ensuring that the products we offer are both functional and environmentally conscious. The goal is to create pieces that improve the quality of spaces and enhance the comfort and health of those who use them.
We are dedicated to creating designs that not only meet high standards of quality but are also built to last. Whether it’s through longevity in style or superior performance, we emphasize sustainability by making products that won’t need to be replaced frequently, ensuring less waste over time
Eco Friendly Materials
Our suppliers carefully select materials that support sustainable practices, using wood that is FSC® C114358 certified. This certification ensures that the wood is sourced from well-managed forests, adhering to strict environmental, social, and economic criteria that promote long-term ecological balance.
To further reduce environmental impact, our suppliers opt for water-based coatings in our products. These coatings are primarily derived from plant-based resins, cutting down on harmful chemicals typically found in conventional paints. As a result, we help create healthier work environments, lower air pollution, and conserve energy—benefits that extend to both our production facilities and end users.
Innovative use of recycled materials
We are also proud to offer products made from recycled materials, reinforcing our dedication to the circular economy. Our suppliers produce products using recycled polypropylene, composed of 50% post-consumer waste and 50% industrial plastic waste. This process reduces the need for new raw materials and gives a second life to waste that would otherwise end up in landfills.
In recognition of their efforts, our suppliers earned the ReMade in Italy® certification in 2022 for several products. This certification ensures that the recycled content of a product is verifiable and traceable throughout its production lifecycle. It guarantees that materials are responsibly sourced, recycled, and repurposed to create new, high-quality products.
Minimising Waste, Maximising Efficiency
Our commitment to sustainability is evident in the way we manage resources. Throughout the manufacturing process, we focus on reducing raw material consumption, optimising resource use, and implementing strategies to recycle waste and control emissions. This integrated approach not only reduces environmental impact but also ensures that the products we create are resilient, long-lasting, and easy to maintain.
Designed for Longevity and Recycling
Durability is a core principle in our design philosophy. We believe that products should not only be stylish but also built to endure. By designing with longevity in mind, we reduce the need for frequent replacements, thus minimising waste. Many of our products are also designed to be easily disassembled, which promotes recycling and extends the lifecycle of materials, further contributing to a circular economy.
Reducing Our Carbon Footprint with Local Manufacturing
As part of our commitment to sustainability, we prioritize working with local Scottish manufacturers to help reduce our carbon footprint. By sourcing products closer to home, we minimize the environmental impact associated with transportation, such as carbon emissions from long-distance shipping. This localised approach not only supports local industries but also ensures that our supply chain is as environmentally efficient as possible, further reinforcing our dedication to reducing our overall impact on the planet.
When you choose Nutrend products, you are investing in more than just great design—you are supporting a sustainable future. Our partnerships with suppliers who share our commitment to eco-friendly practices help us create products that are not only of the highest quality but also reduce the strain on the environment.
