Sustainability

In an era where sustainability and cost savings are increasingly important, furniture refurbishment presents a compelling solution for environmentally conscious businesses and professionals. The trend of buying used items has become so "cool" that terms like "SECOND-LIFE" or "PRE-LOVED" have replaced the once-negative connotation of "USED." Even public administrations in Europe, through initiatives like GPP (and CAM in Italy), consider furniture refurbishment one of the most

The Minimum Environmental Criteria (CAM) are technical specifications and environmental guidelines defined by the Italian Ministry of the Environment to promote sustainability in public procurement. The choice of products that meet these requirements can significantly contribute to reducing environmental impact. Guidelines The main guidelines are: The materials used must come from sustainable sources and, when possible, be recycled and recyclable. The production stages must

In this post, we will talk about respect for the environment and the small attentions in our daily choices that can make a big difference. Respect for the environment is a topic that is very close to our hearts and one we frequently return to in this blog. On the side of public administrations, the Green Public Procurement (GPP), which is spreading across Europe, suggests virtuous behaviors and guidelines for greater environmental attention. On the corporate side, we are witn

The Minimum Environmental Criteria (CAM in italian) are guidelines established by the Ministry of Ecological Transition (MiTe) to promote the adoption of products and services with low environmental impact... They represent the implementation in Italy of the Green Public Procurement ( GPP ) directives issued by the European Union in 1996. Efficient resource management and circular economy are the two guiding principles of the MEC, as scientific studies demonstrate that the

In our previous post Circular Economy and Recycling , we've been chatting about refurbishment, reuse, and recycling. In summary, recycling (especially plastic recycling) is still a way to help the environment, although refurbishment and reuse are decidedly preferable. Today, we delve into the details of plastic material recycling, starting with an important distinction: the origin of recycled plastic. There are, in fact, two primary sources of recycling: Pre-consumer Recycli

Circular economy is one of the solutions to the global challenges we are facing today, including climate change, resource scarcity, and environmental pollution. It is a "responsible" approach to the production of "quality" items designed to last over time. The "use and throw" consumerism is no longer sustainable, and resource conservation is an imperative for economic and environmental sustainability. The goal, therefore, is to redesign and "modernize" a system where resourc
