The performance of furniture products
Environmental performance of a furniture product
For a company, communicating on an environmental aspect of a product remains voluntary, but this communication can no longer be limited to a single environmental aspect. In other words, a multi-criteria vision is required and the company must describe the main environmental characteristics of the product in question using the technical basis of the environmental display, which consists of :
- 4 sectoral benchmarks (furniture, upholstered seating, bedding and bedding products)
- ADEME’s IMPACTS® database
- the Eco-Meuble calculation tool developed by FCBA. A free access level allows any manufacturer to evaluate the environmental impact of its furniture and to compare it to other products
Consumers, for their part, have a positive perception of the environmental label, which inspires confidence and enhances the image of the company that implements it. Nevertheless, there is still a need to educate consumers so that the information contained in the label is properly understood and that environmental labelling becomes a lever for sustainable production and consumption.
