We see many companies using recyclable packaging for their products. Not only does Kartell carry this out, but also creates their entire product with zero waste tolerance. Using state of the art technology and constant research. Since the late 80’s Kartell have had a true focused on pioneering research for quality-based designs and materials. 

The materials Kartell choose to use are carefully and scientifically curated. The wood comes only from certified forests, using cutting edge technology to only take a very fine layer of wood with minimal waste, creating 3D curves like never before. 

Kartell have been the first furniture company to test the completely natural material bio. Using a piece from the archives, a modular storage unit, designed in 1967 by Anna Castelli Ferrieri. 

Bio is created from waste materials from farm production procedures. After a series of processes this biomass becomes a high quality material completely regenerated from something that would otherwise have been wasted. 

Another material used by Kartell is riciclato a recycled thermoplastic. Kartell turns recyclable plastics and raw materials into functional objects that are designed into luxury pieces of furniture, standout home accessories and revolutionary lighting.
