TAKT has broken new ground in the consumer furniture market by sharing a full lifetime carbon report for every product it produces . From the moment materials are sourced to the very end of the product ’ s life , every carbon emission is quantified using the European Commission ’ s Product Environmental Footprint ( PEF ) guidelines , and independently verified by the Danish climate calculator MÅLBAR .
The report for each product includes CO2e impact figures for every stage in its making , distribution , use and disposal – making TAKT the only furniture company we ’ re aware of to track and publish emission figures for all its products after they leave the factory doors . The figures are published prominently on each product page
