Here is how Herman Miller-a century old furniture company, closing the loop on waste | Ep. #83
Description
Today we talk about Herman Miller and how they are innovating their business models into circular business model to stay relevant in business and also to be inclusive of natural environment.
I want to bring to your notice that designing for the environment is not an easy job. Speaking in context of Herman Miller, they are a 116year old company who have gained a strong reputation of high quality ergonomic furniture.
Now to incorporate cradle to cradle C2C design, or to make use of ocean plastics into their well performing models, takes enormous research and development of how the materials would behave in this new formula, it takes a focussed team of individuals to run the project, improve their existing supply chains, train and level up their suppliers as well as employees to be cognizant of this new ecosystem and deliver results.
Taking all this into account, Herman Miller has set a precedent of sustainability within the furniture industry. Their process of change can be replicated in other industries. They are clearly the role models for businesses who aspire to stay relevant, stay eco-efficient and profitable in this new age.
Tune into the episode to find out how this Herman Miller is doing things differently.
