FIRA Publish Communicating Sustainability Best Practice Guide
The Furniture Industry Research Association has released a new guide for members, ‘Communicating Environmental Data – Best Practice Guide’.
The guide aims to help manufacturers complete self-declared environmental product data sheets. It includes industry-accepted definitions and information on how specific parameters should be calculated.
To effectively use data for decision-making and reporting on sustainability impacts, it is essential that the information is presented clearly and accurately. It should be reliable and based on consistent calculation methods, enabling fair comparisons between products.
The guide also includes a review of the state of recycling for the UK industry so that recyclability claims can be meaningful and achievable.
Members can access the ‘Communicating Environmental Data - Best Practice Guide’ as part of their membership benefits.
Non-members can purchase a copy, priced at £150, from our online bookshop.
