Sustainable school environments

An investment in a school is an investment in the future. But how the future looks is up to us.

Here at Input interior, we see considerate and responsible production and logistics as a prerequisite for the interior design sector being able to minimise its ecological footprint. However, how we choose to consume products is also crucial in enabling us to make a real difference. We therefore want to inspire our customers to shop sustainably, and to make mindful, long-term choices. And when needs change – to change and renew responsibly.

But how does that work and what is most important to consider? And is it possible to make sustainable choices on a limited budget?

Mindful choices

For us at Input interior, the environment and economic sustainability go hand in hand. It is basically a matter of channelling resources into what will make the biggest difference to the organisation.

We can help with guidance regarding sustainable choices. By carefully analysing your needs and requirements we can, among other things, review which of your existing furnishings can be reused in the new environment, and which furniture can be refurbished or otherwise updated to extend its life cycle.

For new purchases, we naturally take into account the stringent environmental requirements set by the school for interior furnishings generally, but aim to exceed these by also considering flexibility. If furniture is to be useful in the long run, it needs to be suitable for use by multiple different students, but also teachers, who perhaps employ varying working methods. We look at the different features your furniture may require for use in a setting with a wide variety of needs. In addition, the materials must stand up to the action-packed day-to-day and tough wear and tear of school life.

Making needs the central focus

Good interior design should contribute to a stimulating learning environment and serve as educational support for activities, which may seem obvious. But what that actually looks like is not so obvious.

What is an ecolabel?

Each label has its own requirements. Certain labels focus primarily on environmental aspects, while others also take into account quality, traceability and social responsibility. A label may cover the entire product, only the raw materials or just part of the product. Below is a list of the most common labelling schemes for furniture, textiles and wood.
