Many furniture in our homes, in our workplaces and in public environments contain chemicals with properties that are harmful to health and the environment. Add to that the fact that we are facing a circular transition, where materials must be able to be reused over and over again which places new demands on non-toxic material flows. It's time to free the furniture from of unwanted chemicals!

The event will be held in Swedish.
