Blå Station
About
Ever since Blå Station was founded in 1986 the company has focused on environmental issues and works to seven + one criteria for sustainable development.
Our seven + one criteria for sustainable development:
- Higher material quality for better furniture with longer durability
- Higher design quality to ensure that the furniture is modern and can remain in the market for a longer time
- Higher environmental awareness so that production and processes become environmentally efficient and energy consumption decreases
- Higher logistic environmental awareness to reduce transport
- Recyclable materials to reduce raw-material consumption
- Renewable materials to conserve the Earth’s resources
- Ethics & Morality so they can be sure that their furniture is made according to the best and most honest fundamental values
Last but not least, to facilitate a conscious and well-thought-out choice, all production takes place locally in the Nordic and Baltic region, which benefits the product from a quality and sustainability perspective. This is an assurance that everything is made properly! By fulfilling these criteria in their work they have, for example, taken a leading position in minimising the formaldehyde content of moulded wood components. For a long time they didn’t use chrome finishes on steel components – instead they chose stainless steel, which is a better environmental alternative. Now that chroming techniques are available which meet stringent environmental requirements, we have chosen to include this surface treatment for our products.
