Are you looking for a cost-effective way to report the carbon footprint of your furniture?
Do you need a fast alternative to EPDs?
First, we recommend taking the dc Design Courses to better understand sustainable design and how improving Carbon Efficiency can reduce the carbon footprint of your product designs.
The next stage is to use the materials Directory to identify suitable materials that can help you to reduce your carbon footprint.
By using the Estimator designers can compare different materials and production locations to optimise their designs and report the estimated carbon footprint of design variations. All within minutes.
Once a design has been finalised, it’s ready to be submitted for certification.
Subscribers get 40% off dc certification.
Certified products are also listed in our FREE product directory coming soon.
By implementing our circular design standard, manufacturers benefit from a continuous carbon reduction process, through a strategy of Reuse, Reduce and Recycle.
A lack of industry standards makes it challenging for furniture manufacturers and suppliers to report the carbon footprint of their products, in an understandable and compliant way.
Our dc Circular Design Certificate and ecolabel all help to ensure designers meet the required regional standards and report the carbon impact of their products, in a way that can be used across all product types: chairs, sofas, displays, desks, storage unit and even checkouts and security gates.
This means specifiers like retailers, universities, corporate offices, architects and interiors designs, can use one certificate across all suppliers.
