Description
SKI - the Danish State procurement authority - has signed an exclusive procurement contract with the furniture brand Duba-B8, whereby all its office furniture must be capable of being disassembled into parts and reused several times, as well as complying with Nordic Eco-label requirements.
The supplier focuses on extending the furniture lifespan and on recycling. It also provides for its technicians to maintain, adjust and repair the furniture on-site, as well as a "re-entry scheme" that ensures that furniture components are correctly recovered, recycled, refurbished or disposed of.
