SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainability In Every Way

Dansani takes responsibility and takes good care of our environment. We are energy- and consumption-conscious and have always been so - it is part of our DNA. We have dedicated resources when it comes to sustainability initiatives, and we work very closely with our suppliers and are in control of all components that make up our furniture.

Our basis are the 17 UN sustainable development goals. That means that we generally:

• Develop our products so that their environmental impact in terms of manufacture, usage and, not least, disposal is minimised.

• Use raw materials, water and energy efficiently to reduce the environmental impact.

• Maintain high safety standards for our employees and promote responsible approaches to the environment.

More Specifically

So what specifically do we do to enable you to make the most sustainable choices? We generally exclusively focus on solutions that also meet our high quality standards - because long-lasting durability is an extremely important element in a sustainable product. We therefore have 10-year warranties on all furniture. Obviously, it is also possible to repair or replace individual components which may further extend the life of the furniture. It may be an electronic driver for lights in the drawer, or a drawer runner may have been damaged.

But obviously, there are also other elements in play. Let’s take a look at the various materials so that you can make an informed decision.

Materials For Cabinets And Worktops

Calidris furniture consists of two different types of wooden boards - the veneered front is placed on a chipboard, and the smooth front is a lacquered MDF board.

The sustainable choice is the veneered front on a chipboard. The reason is that the chipboard consists of 2/3 recycled wood. This is also the case for wooden worktops and wooden shelves.

All new wood that makes up Calidris furniture is from sustainable forestry. We now have 93% of all wooden materials in our furniture, certified with full traceability. Obviously, our goal is 100%.

BASINS & SILESTONE® WORKTOPS

In terms of the beautiful Silestone® basins and worktops, 20% of the material is recycled and 99% of the water used for production is reused, while the electricity comes from 100% renewable energy sources.

Porcelain basins are durable and are long-lasting and can be crushed for use as road fill or other purposes without the risk of discharging hazardous substances - they can also be recycled to make new basins if a return programme exists. This is also the case for glass basins and worktops.

Lighting And Mirrors

All light sources are energy-efficient LED lighting with a life expectancy of 20 years with 4 hours of daily use. And when the lamp has served its purpose, it is easy to dismantle and dispose of in an environmentally friendly and safe way. All mirrors are of high quality and therefore have a long life.
