Loosli sustainability index
A clear way to assess the sustainability performance of your furniture.
Factors influencing the index value
*The index compares materials within similar groups and is based on the available data. It indicates relative performance, not an absolute environmental value.
How to interpret the index score
The index score shows how the materials used perform against Loosli’s criteria for sustainability and circularity.
Lower scores indicate a higher degree of compliance with these criteria and thus better relative performance.
For example, if your score is in the green zone, up to 100 % of the materials in your order may be recyclable or renewable and can be returned to the production cycle at the end of their life cycle. The orange and red zones, on the other hand, highlight areas where we are continuously working to further improve circularity.
How to reduce the index score
Each of these aspects can influence the index score of your order, and our experts will be happy to guide you through the entire process.
Choice of materials
Selecting high-quality, recyclable or renewable materials can significantly improve the index score. The better a material performs in terms of origin, composition and recyclability, the lower the index score will be.
Durable Design & Circularity
A robust, repairable and modular design extends the lifespan of a piece of furniture and increases its circularity. Products that can be easily dismantled, repaired or reused achieve a better index score.
Maintenance & Extended Lifespan
Materials and finishes that are easy to maintain and retain their quality over many years contribute to a lower index score. A long service life reduces resource consumption and improves the overall performance in the index.
Regional Suppliers with Recognised Standards
By working with regional, certified suppliers, transport distances are reduced and verified quality and environmental standards are ensured. This leads to a lower environmental impact and thus to a better index score.
