Check table circularity
How do you know that the table you are investing in is truly built to last – and to live on? At Lundbergs Furniture, we guide you through five clear signs that show a table is not only designed for today – but also for tomorrow, from a sustainability and circularity perspective.
5 signs your table is made for longevity and circulation
Separability
The table consists of few materials that can be separated from each other with standard tools. The parts can be reassembled with maintained function.
Check that materials are not glued together. To ensure that the table can maintain stability and function after reassembly, check how the parts are assembled. For example, fittings should not be attached with ordinary wood screws into the tabletop, as this will reduce the strength.
Spare parts
Spare parts for the table are available. It is easy and economically viable to replace spare parts.
Check if spare parts for the table are already available, also check if there is an indication of how long spare parts will be offered. The cost of purchasing a spare part together with the cost of time to make the replacement should be lower than buying a completely new product.
Upgrade
Maintenance instructions are available. The table has clear maintenance instructions that everyone can carry out.
Check if there are clear maintenance instructions that do not require cleaning agents and tools that are not usually available on site.
Quality
The table meets Möbelfakta's requirements. By ensuring that the table meets Möbelfakta's requirements, the table's economic, ecological, and social sustainability is assured.
Check if the table has third-party certification. It could be, for example, Möbelfakta. Also, check the length of the product's warranty period, as it can provide an incentive for sustainability. It is always recommended to read up on each warranty period, what it entails. Perhaps there are several types of warranties for the product's circulation.
