Keeping waste out of landfills since 2009.
Our North American manufacturing and headquarters operations have maintained zero-waste-to-landfill status since 2009, with global operations following in 2012.
At Haworth, we define zero waste to landfill as diverting at least 90% of waste through recycling, reuse, or energy recovery. Each year, we invest more than $1 million in waste-reduction initiatives and divert materials like metal, wood, plastic, fabric, cardboard, and food waste from landfills.
Designed for another life.
By transforming recycled and ocean-bound plastics into textiles, we're helping reduce waste while creating materials built for everyday use. It's one more way sustainability is woven into our products from the start.
From waste to weave.
Our digital knit wastes nothing.
Designed to fit each chair precisely, our digital knit eliminates excess material and reduces manufacturing waste. The knit-to-fit process creates a durable, comfortable textile while giving designers the freedom to explore rich colors, patterns, and textures.
“This whole ‘knit-to-fit’ term is really centered around making one piece,” says Alexis Putnam, a materials and finish designer at Haworth. “No cutting or waste. This fits with our commitment to sustainability.”
