Because we care
Cane-line believes that responsibility goes beyond the design and production of furniture. Our production is committed to a healthy environmental policy and an ongoing focus on minimizing our societal and environmental impact.
A production where each furniture is produced with care for our nature and minimal materials go to waste. We make every effort to design and manufacture products with minimal impact on nature. Great design should not come at the expense of our precious nature.
The ISO14001 certification, SMETA audition, our engagement in UN Global Compact and the Sustainable Development Goals express our dedication towards this cause.
Read our five commitments.
1. Our vision
Responsibility is embedded in every stage of our products’ lifecycle. From material selection as part of the design and production process to recycling of the product after many years of use.We believe that timeless design with an optimal balance between high-quality materials and innovative technologies last longer, and thereby have a positive impact on the furniture industry.
Cane-line’s vision is “Life made comfortable” and our vision in a responsibility aspect is manufacturing timeless designs with focus on longevity. We believe this is the best we can do to take responsibility for future generations.
2. Commitment & Responsibility
We are committed to a healthy environmental policy (ISO14001), which ensures responsible business. We minimize our societal and environmental impact through smart packaging, reducing material waste, responsibly sourced materials and recycling.We find it essential to look at every stage of the product’s lifecycle when it comes to minimizing the environmental impact. For instance, to ensure that as few materials go to waste and leftover materials from production are recycled. Moreover, all Cane-line products can be detached and recycled.
3. Designed for longevity
We have made a conscious choice to design and manufacture products and designs with a long lifespan to ensure that they can be enjoyed for many years.We embed longevity in our designs through supreme materials, timeless designs, innovative technologies and flexibility. For instance, you can change the fabric on many of our products. Furthermore, our modular systems give consumers the possibility to add new elements as their needs change over time.
4. Intelligent & Innovative technologies
We work with intelligent and innovative technologies to improve the design, the quality and lifespan of our products. New technologies often bring new possibilities that have a positive impact on a more responsible production.For instance, Cane-line QuickDry & Airflow system has improved the quality of our cushions. Consumers can leave the cushions outside in the rain. A technology that brings value to our customers, and also prolongs the lifespan of our products.
5. Care, repair & recycle
Cane-line products are created to be enjoyed for a long time. We believe in caring for our products and therefore offer reparation in-house at our headquarter and bring new life to our products.Additionally, all Cane-line products can be detached, so materials can be disassembled and sorted into correct recycle bins. Thereby, we minimize material waste and ensure that materials can be re-used.
