Have you ever wondered how the different components of your kitchen are made? From a laminate worksurface all the way to the glass covering of an induction stove? As you are about to find out, the roads towards more sustainable production are many. The path we have chosen make sense to us right now, but developing more sustainable products means keeping an open mind to new findings along the way, so we allow ourselves to be flexible as we learn. This is not something new to us, as furnipart has always been open-minded and eager to learn. This is just the beginning…

The world’s waterways are seeing an increasing problem with plastic waste. The plastic waste contaminating the waterways escape the circularity routes mainly because of poor waste management. When plastic waste is not being recycled, virgin plastic will have to be produced with a subsequent increase in CO2 emissions. PLASTIX is a small company in Lemvig in Denmark, and through their unique and groundbreaking technology they have made it possible to recycle plastic from the maritime Industry, like discarded and obsolete fishing gear, ropes, trawls etc. PLASTIX receives these disused materials and after a cleansing process the items are made into plastic granulates which can then be moulded into new products, like our OceanIX handles. We are passionate about making positive change happen now, rather than letting it pass us by. This is how and why we began developing handles using the OceanIX material.
