SEGER The Seger factory in Röshult , Sweden , has for a long time invested in a greener production process . The work to recycle and reduce waste is an on-going part of the daily environmental efforts . In terms of sustainable materials , Seger for example uses Bamlana from bamboo fiber and EXP 4.0 treated merino wool . In 2017 , Seger completely switched to energy from wind power in the production , coming from wind power plants just a stone ’ s throw away from the factory .
ORREFORS KOSTA BODA Orrefors Kosta Boda has been working actively with environmental questions since the 1970 ’ s . The glasswork in Kosta was among the first in the world to create crystal glass without lead and arsenic , which challenged a whole industry . Orrefors Kosta Boda ’ s aim it to become the world ’ s most sustainable company in glass production , where focus is on renewable energy , water in the production process , emissions , chemicals and glass waste from production .
In recent seasons , Orrefors Kosta Boda has developed several exciting collections . For example , together with Cervera - Sweden ’ s largest chain of stores selling quality products for the kitchen , table and home – the collection “ Recycle ” has been developed . The collection is made of crushed colored waste glass from other productions . Each bowl is unique because the shade varies depending on how much pigment is in the recycled glass .
They have also done a collaboration with Ryd ’ s Car Glass and the artist Erika Lagerbielke , where damaged glass from cars is used to produce unique , handmade art glass with its own artisanal character and style . Every year , thousands of tonnes of car glass are collected and usually become mineral wool or landfill , but there has previously been very little interest in recycling this glass in new and creative ways .
