’s (Helskinki, Finland) bio-based, eco-friendly wood composites materials are now being incorporated into ’ (previously Ekbacken Studios, Stockholm, Sweden) entire signature Collection no.1 of environmentally conscious “masterpiece” furniture. The continued partnership with 3D technology company, The Industry (Malmö, Finland) ensures that the trio are merging technology and sustainability to produce high-end furniture locally.
The incorporation of Sulapac’s materials indicate Hyfer’s committment against environmental degradation while producing high-end design pieces. Made of biodegradable biopolymers and natural wood, Sulapac leaves no permanent microplastics or toxic residues behind. The wood originates from industrial side streams, and in the future, will also use recycled biopolymers. Moreover, the materials have a low carbon footprint compared to conventional plastic.
