A Sustainability Report was prepared in collaboration with our designers Erdem Akan & Boğaç Şİmşir, and the products designed by them after this report were awarded in 2015 by Green Good Design.
In all the projects that R&D Center has developed; in order to reduce the use of wood, alternative materials to MDF and chipboard are developed.
Hard-polyurethane material and wood equivalent materials were obtained and used in various products.
As a result of recycling plastic waste bottles, felt is produced and used in products such as Phone Booth (Cabina), Acoustic Meeting Rooms, Chair (Infinity).
Polypropylene (pp) from recycled car bumpers are used in plastic chair fonts.
The Eco Design Project for Ersa” is one the first implementations of this fruitful collaboration. The project focuses on green product design as well as green business model design. Taking into consideration the fact that 80% of environmental impacts can be influenced during the product design stage, the benefits of eco design are significant in terms of environmental sustainability.
