Join us as we break down the basics of furniture’s carbon footprint, and how the furniture and interiors sectors – whether individual designers, small businesses or large brands – can make a difference in addressing global climate change. How can we measure the carbon footprint of a sofa, chair or table? How do materials, packaging, transport and disposal factor in? What are terms such as net zero, cradle-to-grave, materiality and embodied carbon?
Join Lucy Arndt, Head of Sustainability, Dodds & Shute and Lucy Crane, Sustainability Manager, Modus, in exploring how this matters in tackling climate change – and how designers, manufacturers, retailers and other furniture industry players can apply these ideas toward a climate-positive future. This will be a 60-minute webinar, with an optional additional 30 minutes to dive deeper into your questions with the speakers.
Produced by mebl | Transforming Furniture. Co-sponsored by the Sustainable Furnishings Council, IIDA NY Sustainability Circle, New York School of Interior Design, and presented as part of NYCxDESIGN. The webinar is eligible for 1 IDCEC CEU credit.
