The circular economy will be present at the show House and Object this year! Furniture made in circular economy will be strongly represented thanks to the work of the Les Canaux association. Many companies have been involved in the Booster Circulaire #2 program for 18 months. Discover this project and come meet Aire for this new edition of Maison et Objet.
The circular economy in the age of sobriety
We don't realize that every year in France 63 thousand tons of office furniture are put on the market. That is 1.48 times the weight of the aircraft carrier Charles-de-Gaulle. This figure must be compared to the 93 thousand tons of furniture office that are thrown away every year. Fortunately, some players are mobilizing to change this. This source of raw material can be reused. This comes at a cost So let's not forget this in our future projects. We must reinvent our way of thinking and the production models we develop. I won't hide from you that the work promises to be long and difficult.
The association The Canals is working with its brilliant team to share the principles of the circular economy with professionals.
Aire will be present at the Maison et Objet trade fair
I am pleased to inform you that Aire will be present alongside the Les Canaux association during the show. Maison et Objet, from September 8 to 12, 2022 in Paris. We will be at the stand J66 & 70 with the 18 companies supported during the Circular Booster #2 program.
For 18 months, 18 of us across the country were supported by Les Canaux and its network of experts. We worked on all stages of a piece of furniture's life, from prototyping to marketing, with the aim of the circular economy and its challenges. The work carried out by these companies has made it possible to create a range of furniture manufactured in series from materials from reuse or repurposing.
The Circular Economy and Valdélia
In France, there's an eco-organization called Valdélia. Their mission? To guarantee a second life for collected products. Valdelia works in the field of furniture, construction and in certain textile sectors.
Valdélia allows the companies to recycle their Used professional furniture. This is a tailor-made solution for collecting and recycling their used furniture. Processing is free and collection is organized within 48 hours from collection points throughout France.
If you have office space to donate or professional furniture that's bound to end up on the sidewalk , now you know that Valdélia exists! No more excuses: you can easily participate in the circular economy.
What furniture should be made in the circular economy?
This is the big question related to the circular economy. How can we identify material deposits, then recycle them to make new objects? Harvesting is one thing, but what do we do with all this material? What can we make from old office furniture? Aire offers you the beginnings of an answer. Discover the perforated panel with a thousand uses . This is a circular economy Pegboard manufactured by Aire .
Aire 's Multi-Purpose Perforated Panel brings a breath of creativity to professional premises and workspaces. Two multifunctional models are available: a wall-mounted version and a freestanding version on casters.
You can fix your Pegboard with a Thousand Uses to the wall. It will thus meet all storage needs in the office: card holder, document holder, pencil holder, Kanban, wall shelves, coat racks or even a green wall... In its self-supporting and mobile version , this Pegboard becomes the ideal tool for visual management (signage, communication), fulfilling marketing functions (commercial display, label holder) or even structuring the space as a room divider. It also finds its place in spaces of creativity and conviviality thanks to its set of game accessories: marble run, throwing rings, PixelArt.
