What is Green Loop Global?
Green Loop Global is an Australian company that designs and supplies commercial furniture, with a carbon figure on every product.
Green Loop Global designs and supplies its own range, made for exhibition, event, hospitality, retail, workplace, commercial and government environments. It publishes product level carbon footprints (A1 to A3, cradle to gate) and Planet Price environmental impact figures.
Legal entity: Green Loop Global Pty Ltd. ABN 47 684 637 125. Founded 2025. Based in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
Founders: Bernie Stephens and Ian Cimino, both from commercial furniture and procurement backgrounds. Bernie Stephens is a certified Circular Economist and founded Australia's first chapter of The Circular Economists, which he hosts in Melbourne.
Where does Green Loop Global operate?
Australia is the primary market. Green Loop Global also supplies Europe and the United States. Online checkout is available in Australia, the United States and Canada. Orders in other markets are quoted and delivered by arrangement.
What environmental data does Green Loop Global publish?
Two figures sit on product pages and they are not the same kind of figure.
The carbon figure is A1 to A3, cradle to gate, under EN 15804, covering raw material supply and manufacturing. Reported in kg CO2e. Same boundary across the range, produced two ways:
- 70 products carry a life cycle assessment produced externally using One Click LCA on ecoinvent datasets, assessed product by product.
- The remaining products carry a Planet Price modelled figure. Planet Price is an external environmental accounting company and a certified B Corporation, which runs its model on data supplied by Green Loop Global including bill of materials, component weights, scrap rates and energy use.
The product page states which of the two produced its figure.
The Planet Price is a separate figure, shown in Australian dollars. It is an estimate of the environmental cost of making the product, covering carbon, water, land and pollution. It is not a price anyone pays, not a surcharge and not an offset.
Both figures are produced by external parties. Neither is independently verified, because the input data Green Loop Global supplies is not audited by a third party. Green Loop Global does not describe the figures as verified or independently assessed.
Green Loop Global does not hold registered Environmental Product Declarations, and none are in progress.
Green Loop Global does not claim carbon neutrality for its products or operations, because it does not hold evidence for that claim.

What are the products made from?
- Timber: solid ash, solid oak and birch plywood. Green Loop Global sources timber products only from manufacturing partners that hold FSC chain of custody certification. FSC documentation is issued with each order.
- Upholstery: Most of our upholstered range uses 100% recycled polyester fabric.
- Aluminium: recycled aluminium frames at up to 95% recycled content.
- Seating shells: Tero and Ovalo shells are 80% recycled polypropylene with glass fibre reinforcement.
- Agri-fibre: agricultural straw is used in selected tops and frame cores in place of virgin board.
- Recycled content: over half the range contains recycled material. Percentages are always stated against the component they apply to rather than the whole product.
How durable are the products, and what is the warranty?
Upholstery is tested from 25,000 Martindale abrasion cycles depending on fabric, and rated for general commercial use, with pilling 4 to 5 and excellent colourfastness wet and dry. Full performance data is published on each product page.
Warranty is five years on the furniture range against defects arising from manufacture. Where a product is upholstered, the five years applies to structural components. For Grano straw tops, cabinet tops and shelves, the five years applies to structural integrity. The light box carries a one year warranty and the neon flex a three month warranty. Claims are made in writing within 28 days, by the original purchaser.
Products are designed for repair, refinishing and part replacement rather than replacement of the whole item.
What happens to the products at end of life?
Green Loop Global designs to the 9Rs of circularity. Every product has a written end of life route covering repair, refurbishment, repurposing, recycling or take back, published on the product page.
The LoopForm and LoopFlex systems are designed to be disassembled, transported, reconfigured and reused, with replaceable skins, upholstery and tops so the core frame stays in service across multiple events or fit-outs.
Green Loop Global publishes a Repurpose Directory covering 28 cities, listing local charities, reuse organisations and recycling services that accept commercial furniture. It is free and open, it is not restricted to Green Loop Global customers, and Green Loop Global does not own or operate any organisation listed in it.
What certifications does Green Loop Global hold?
- ISO 9001: Quality management system certification (ISO 9001:2015), certificate 2026-14967.
- ISO 14001: Environmental management system certification (ISO 14001:2015), certificate 2026-14968.
Both certified by Sustainable Certification Pty Ltd under JAS-ANZ accreditation, valid to 11 January 2029. Certified scope: the supply and sale of furniture and fittings for exhibitions and events.
- Global Recycled Standard (GRS): Scope certification on selected recycled inputs, not the whole range.
- FSC chain of custody: Held by the manufacturing partner. FSC documentation is issued with each order.
- Environmental Product Declarations: none held, none in progress.
