Die SARA Platte ist eine neuartige Spanplatte, bei deren Produktion ausschließlich Altholz verwendet wird. Kein Baum muss mehr für SARA gefällt werden, kein Lebensraum für Flora und Fauna wird zerstört, bestehende Ressourcen werden effizienter genutzt.

Improving office furniture with sustainable design

Sustainable design impresses with its durability, flexible usability, reusability and resource-saving production. Modularity, convertibility and reparability are further attributes that can significantly extend the service life and thus make furniture more sustainable.

Office thought in a circle

With our partners and suppliers, we at WINI pursue the long-term goal of using as many sustainable - ideally even completely recyclable - materials as possible in our furniture production.

For example, we use sustainable natural products such as cork, upholstery fabrics made from collected plastic waste (SEEQUAL initiative) or 100% recycled post-consumer plastic, as well as components made from post-industrial plastic. WINI relies on paper-based solutions for packaging, regional sourcing and AI-supported packing and route optimization for logistics.

Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.

One of WINI's sustainability initiatives is SARA (Chipboard Made from 100% Recycled Waste Wood) - a board whose production no longer uses newly felled wood. SARA therefore anticipates the mandatory EU regulation on deforestation-free supply chains for all companies from mid-2025.

The problem: In Europe alone, around 6 million barrels of waste wood end up in landfills every year, releasing sequestered carbon when thermally recycled. The SARA solution: producing new Chipboard from used wood to reduce deforestation and at the same time reuse and recycle waste wood.

A win for climate protection: For SARA, waste wood (classified according to the European Waste Catalogue) such as old furniture, pallets, construction timber, etc.) is chipped and processed into new, high-quality furniture boards. Adhering materials are separated by type in the reprocessing process and sent for recycling. SARA is produced Without the use of newly felled wood. No forest has to be cleared for SARA, no habitat for Flora and fauna is destroyed and existing resources are used more efficiently. That's hundreds of thousands of trees a year that don't have to be felled. Thanks to the circular economy, the carbon remains bound in the waste wood and our forests can absorb more CO2 for longer.

Für SARA wird Altholz (klassifiziert nach EAV (Europäischer Abfallkatalog) wie z. B. alte Möbel, Paletten, Bauholz, etc.) zerspant und zu neuen, hochwertigen Möbelbauplatten verarbeitet. Anhaftende Materialien, wie zum Beispiel Glas, Stahl oder Aluminium, werden im Aufarbeitungsprozess sortenrein getrennt und dem Recycling zugeführt. Tischplatten und Schränke werden so am Ende ihrer Gebrauchsdauer wieder zum Rohstoff neuer Büromöbel. Mit der SARA Platte in den WINI Möbeln wird die Kohlenstoffbindung im Material um Jahre bis Jahrzehnte verlängert.

Nothing actually changes. And yet everything does.

SARA does not differ in appearance or properties from conventional Chipboard. It complies with the E05 standard and is PEFC and FSC-certified. The board is vegan (binding without glue based on animal substances) and less water is used in its production than with conventional Chipboard.

SARA can be used for all WINI table tops and carcass furniture. The board is available in WINI board thicknesses and four standard colors. With the entire WINI decor color spectrum, it can be designed on request.

From wood waste to utility furniture and back again

With furniture from WINI made from recycled materials, you can combine ecological and aesthetic aspects in sustainable office furnishings. The use of SARA panels made from recycled waste wood has a direct impact on environmental protection and resource conservation. Waste wood recycling extends the useful life of wood, reduces the need for new wood and thus protects forests and their biodiversity. Ecological office furniture made from post-industrial wood, waste wood or end-of-life products enables the sensible recycling of wood as a raw material and contributes to the circular economy.

Investing in sustainable, long-lasting office furniture has a positive impact on your eco-balance. Sustainable office furniture reflects the values of a responsible company. Designing sustainable office furniture with the SARA board means taking responsibility for the environment while creating durable, aesthetically pleasing and functional working environments. By focusing on sustainability, you are investing in the future of our planet while promoting a healthy, inspiring working environment.

SARA offers another way to make offices even more sustainable. The modular design of WINI furniture systems, their high-quality workmanship, the high degree of customizability and long-term delivery guarantees are the foundation of WINI's strategy to make office furniture even better. With the sustainable design of WINI office furniture, you can make your office furnishings flexible and environmentally friendly.
