Report
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.
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.
Certified designs are then collated into a full report, enabling occupiers and specifiers to set targets, reduce the carbon impact of their fitouts, and report their overall carbon savings.
So how do we turn sustainability into profitability?
By implementing our circular design standard, manufacturers benefit from a continuous carbon reduction process, through a strategy of Reuse, Reduce and Recycle.
Certification and Ecolabel
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.
