Driven by Sustainability: Creating Eco-Friendly Furniture for a Healthier Planet
At nobilia, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a core value that drives everything we do. We are dedicated to creating products that not only meet the highest standards of quality and design but also prioritise the health of our planet. By embracing sustainable practices at every stage, from responsibly sourced materials to innovative recycling programs, we ensure that our environmental impact is minimised, while delivering durable and eco-friendly solutions to our customers. Here’s how we’re making a difference
The wood for our furniture is sourced from Sustainable forestry – a new tree planted for every tree felled with a PEFC certificate.
10 million
10 million plinth feet each year are made from reconditioned plastic – a second life for former plastic bags, yoghurt cups & food packaging.
800,000+
We produce 800,000+ kitchens a year generating 90,000 tonnes of wood waste which we re-use in the winter to heat the entire German production facilities and administration offices consisting of over 400,000 squared metres.
We ensure only harmless materials are used, free of toxic additives certified with the DGM emissions label and many with “Blauer Engel”, a recognised environmental certification program in Germany. This certification signifies that products and services meet stringent environmental criteria.
98%
Almost 98% of packaging materials circulates within a material circle – turning old into new.
40%
All our chip board consists of 40% recycled material.
Sustainability in Action
We consider every phase in the life cycle of a kitchen: from the forest where the wood is sourced through to the point in time when the end customer decides a new kitchen is needed. Every single aspect along the way offers potential for maintaining a life worth living on our planet in the future. And we’re exploiting this potential through innovative ideas with a verifiable impact. In this cycle, we explain the sustainability measures we’re taking. Of course, the social aspect also plays a major role – which is why we put people at the centre of our product cycle.
