Our Brands
We are deeply committed to sustainability and understand the eco-consciousness of our customers. To uphold our standards, we have developed a stringent set of twelve criteria for selecting our suppliers. To be part of our inventory, furniture brands must meet at least four of these criteria, with manufacturing in Europe being mandatory. Our criteria are:
Made-in-Europe
Our mandatory criteria. Since we offer our services within Europe, we believe it is more sustainable to partner with brands located here. We also aim to promote local growth.
Clean Energy
Whether it’s solar power, biomass energy, or other forms of clean energy, you will learn which brands invest in clean energy for their production and transport processes.
Social Responsibility
Equity, equality, and fair trade are core values at OOCCA. You'll be informed if the supplier reports their social responsibility impact.
Transparency
Brands that produce sustainability reports to support transparency in their supply chains will be featured. We will publish and display these reports on the brands' pages.
Chemicals
In furniture production, some finishes are less harmful if they are not chemically based. We feature brands and products that use these chemical-free finishes.
CO2 Footprint
The carbon footprint is a key impact measurement. Some suppliers provide this data for their production annually or per product and we will highlight these measurements.
Local Materials
Customers will be informed if suppliers use local materials sourced within a specific distance from the manufacturing facilities. This practice not only reduces emissions but also supports the local economy.
Biomaterials
We want you to know which materials are bio-based and if their extraction is certified. For example, FSC-certified wood or organic cotton. Additionally, we will inform you if the biomaterial is biodegradable.
Recycled Materials
Whether metal or textiles, you'll know which materials are from recycled resources or are recyclable after use. Recyclable materials will be marked, ensuring they close the loop and gain new life.
Designed for disassembly
A product designed for easy disassembly is better suited for repair and refurbishment. These options extend the life of our furniture and ensuring our inventory is always up-to-date.
Pre-loved
Our inventory also includes pre-loved pieces. All pre-loved items will be refurbished, and some will offer customization options before refurbishment.
Green Packaging
Green packaging involves both the method of packaging, such as space-saving flat packing, and the materials used. We prioritize biodegradable packaging and will inform you about the materials used in our packaging.
Made in Europe.
Currently, our sustainable furniture inventory comes from suppliers based in Italy, France, Spain, the UK, Germany, Denmark, The Netherlands, Albania, Sweden, and Finland. We are continually expanding our supplier locations, provided they are within Europe.
We are proud of our suppliers.
Partnerships are essential to us in achieving our circular goals.
