Circle of life
Here at Klar, we take sustainability and circularity seriously. This is why our products are made to last a lifetime and we make sure to give back to nature more than we take.
All our window and door frames are made of FSC-certified pine wood, sourced from Estonian forests. In our efforts to neutralize our carbon footprint and keep the forests healthy, we organize field trips to heavily harvested areas where we plant new baby pine trees.
The wood used in our windows and doors comes from slow-growing pine trees local to deep Estonian forests. During their growth period, they provide valuable shelter for all sorts of smaller plants & animals which make up a healthy ecosystem. At the end of their life cycle, our suppliers responsibly harvest the pines and turn them into the quality material we use in production. The wood from these forests is especially great because of its long-lasting durability.
Let it grow
Once a year we plant new pine trees on the grounds where we have harvested. This is our way of giving back to nature - and making sure that we do not take more than we give to the earth.
We assure that every pine tree is planted with love, carefulness and gratitude towards the forest, by our employees.
Our field trips to the forest, are great for nature but also for us. This is an opportunity for us to bond, to find new energy and inspiration for making the best products.
Look through the gallery below - to experience the last time we planted new pine trees.
Small things matter
Sustainability is not only important for our manufacturing process and end product - we have brought the sustainable measure from the factory to our offices. Here's 6 steps we have implemented for a more sustainable office environment.
PAPERLESS OFFICE
We've embraced a paperless office, eliminating the need for stacks of printed papers and post-its. Our notes are easily written and shared online using various software programs. We're proud of our efficient and eco-friendly workday.
LOCALLY ROASTED COFFEE
Who are we kidding - any office doesn't flow without a constant stream of coffee. We use a local coffee supplier that ensures our coffee meets the highest standards, while also guaranteeing ethical and sustainable production.
REUSE WATER BOTTLES
We provide reusable water bottles to all employees and encourage their use to reduce dishwashing. This simple step minimizes water waste, making a significant impact on our sustainability efforts.
GREEN ENVIRONMENT
Plants produce more oxygen, offsetting any chemicals released into the air by new office furniture. This creates a cleaner and healthier space for our employees. We prioritize both a sustainable and a vibrant work environment.
SORTING
We take responsibility for our window and door production waste. Leftover materials are diligently sorted. If suitable, we distribute them to other companies for reuse, reducing waste and promoting sustainability.
RECYCLE
We prioritize recycling - nothing is discarded if it can be recycled efficiently. We make an effort to prolonge the lifetime of office items, and if we do not need it at the office anymore, we will prioritize to find the item a new home instead.
