Materials and recycled content

We prioritise recycled and renewable inputs where they perform well. Every product lists its key materials and a suggested end-of-life pathway.

Materials, by product family

Cabinets & plinths – Frames: recycled aluminium (around 95% recycled content, post-consumer). Skins: 100% recycled polyester. Designed for repeat reuse and reconfiguration, with skins that swap out for a refresh or rebrand.

Upholstered furniture – Fabric: recycled polyester. Structure: compressed strawboard frame with pine, foam and steel. Built for commercial use and long life.

Seating (Tero, Ovalo) – Shell: 80% post-consumer recycled content, with 20% fibreglass reinforcement for strength. Designed for a long service life.

Tables – Steel base with swappable tops, including Replene, a tabletop made from internally recovered scrap polyethylene. Change the top without replacing the base.

Our quality and environmental management systems are certified to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. We're a Better Stands supporter (NZCE) and a member of the Australian Business Events Association (ABEA).
