The new production of new furniture results in high environmental impacts. The Norwegian EPD Foundation calculated in 2020 how much CO₂e is generated during the manufacture of various types of furniture. With the increased purchase of recycled or repaired furniture, less new is produced in the long run. By purchasing a B-stock or second-hand piece of furniture at COCOLI, you actively contribute to the circularity of the product and thus to reduced environmental impact. The CO₂e values we state are average values for various product types, calculated by the EPD and serve only as a reference.
What does CO₂e mean?
Several greenhouse gases contribute to climate change to varying degrees, for example, carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and others. To summarize the climate impact of these greenhouse gases, they are converted to their "Global Warming Potential" (GWP), the unit of which is CO₂ equivalents (CO₂e). Depending on the activity, several different greenhouse gases can be emitted. Each greenhouse gas can be expressed as a CO₂ equivalent using the GWP.
