“Future-oriented thinking and acting through the use of ecological concepts” – this way of thinking is just as valid for the production of office furniture as it is for its design.

At WINI Büromöbel, know-how and conception have their origin in successful commitment to the environment. Office furnishing of the future must adapt itself to changing work processes – at any given time, with ease. Durable, eco-friendly office furniture will be in demand – as well as a high degree of modularity. With WINI’s office systems, a sophisticated modular concept, and consciously doing without many parts is what prevents the over-use of natural resources. Moreover, WINI contributes actively to environmental protection by prolonging product cycles, based on maximum product and manufacturing quality (according to DIN ISO 9001), and flexible possibilities of use.

During the construction phase already, WINI takes on the responsibility for ecologically sensible product concepts. The work is based on the insights of many years of active environmental protection, and fulfils all ecological regulations. It is here that the synthesis of material, design and modularity gives shape to the formula  for an ecological sense of responsibility: all the WINI products consist of only a few materials, which are easily separated and recycled. These include chipboard, aluminium, steel and polyamide. Further, WINI decided against the use of PVC and superfluous work materials. Combined materials are integrated only very sparingly, and where it is imperative for the sake of product safety.  All the steel and die cast aluminium parts are coated as a whole with solvent-free, environmental-friendly powder lacquer, and the aluminium string profiles are anodised.

According to the legal requirements of the Hazardous Materials Safety Regulations (Section 9, paragraphs 3, 4), chipboard with emission class 1 only is used. Coatings are naturally emission-free, too. Real wood surfaces are sealed with environmental-friendly, water-soluble lacquers. For the protection of the furniture during transport, reusable packaging materials only are used.

As one of the few companies in the sector, WINI received important recognition of their commitment to the environment in 2002 with the “Der Blaue Engel – low-emission” award  - on all products made of wood and wooden materials.
