Sustainability

At Improvision Design, we are committed to minimizing both our environmental and social impact. Our vision is to foster a sustainable future that benefits both people and the planet. Sustainability and waste minimization are at the core of our practices, driving every decision we make in our manufacturing processes.

We take pride in our efforts to upcycle material offcuts through our side brand, komfy Décor, which repurposes the by-products of our upholstery production to create stylish décor items such as ottomans and bean bags. This initiative not only reduces waste but also gives new life to materials that would otherwise be discarded. You can explore our range of upcycled products here: komfy Décor Shop.

Our foam is GECA (Good Environmental Choice Australia) Certified, ensuring that all products meet stringent environmental performance criteria throughout their lifecycle. This certification supports our commitment to delivering products that not only perform well but also contribute to better environmental outcomes. GECA standards are internationally recognized and are based on rigorous scientific principles.

In addition, we are proud to repurpose our foam offcuts, shredding them into ‘crumb foam’ that is used to fill our komfy bean bags and footrests, further reducing waste and contributing to a circular production model.

All of our foam and fabric is cut with cnc technology to ensure minimal wastage. We have also begun using a new water-based contact adhesive glue that is environmentally friendly, free of pollutants, and so environmentally conscious that it is even edible!!

We also collaborate with suppliers who share our sustainability goals. The fabric, foam, and thread suppliers we work with are all highly regarded for their environmentally friendly practices. Each of our suppliers holds the necessary certifications and credentials to meet the highest standards of sustainability, ensuring that all materials used in our projects align with eco-conscious values. This commitment extends to the leather and vinyl materials we source, enabling us to consciously select sustainable fabrics for every project.
Furthermore, we make leather offcuts available to the community, often used in school craft projects or for personal and community crafts. This not only reduces waste but also supports creativity and local initiatives.

As a socially responsible company, we also uphold ethical employment practices, offering wages above the industry standard and providing extensive training and development opportunities to support both business and personal growth for our team.

Together with our suppliers and community partners, we are working towards a more sustainable, ethical future in everything we create.
