King

Our Sustainability Framework

• Emissions & Key Environmental Issues

  What is your company doing to reduce your emissions or combat key environmental issues (e.g. waste (packaging, end of life product strategy or recycling), biodiversity, land use, water, chemical use, energy use, and natural resource use etc.)?

  King embeds sustainability into every process. End-to-end control from design to manufacture and delivery allows for sustainable choices. King chooses recyclable materials and designs to reduce carbon footprint. Every King design is built to last a lifetime. The King Difference is the bedrock of our environmental commitment. TIMELESS AUSTRALIAN DESIGN Aesthetically simple, clean silhouettes are the foundation of our design philosophy. Investing heavily in research and development, the Australian in-house design team continually strive toward the best solution, striking a balance between exceptional design and comfort. STEEL FRAME Backed by a 25-year guarantee, the steel frame provides every King design with the strong foundation needed to last a lifetime. FLEXIBLE LIVING Modular furniture is designed for flexible living adapting to fit your lifestyle and your space. King designs travel through time with you, collecting memories that can be handed down from generation to generation.​ REMOVABLE COVERS Tailored removable covers feature on every soft-covered design. Thanks to the built-in ability to clean, repair, and refresh covers with ease, we are still recovering and extending the life of our furniture from the 1970s.

• Materials

  How are the products your company offers made from environmentally friendly materials (e.g. recycled, organic materials)?

  Our products include responsibly sourced, recycled, and sustainable materials and are chosen for longevity. The steel frame is the foundation of KING products and is built to last a lifetime. Precision engineered from high grade galvanised steel, every frame comes with a 25-year warranty. Steel is made from iron ore, can be reused infinite times and is entirely recyclable. Fabrics such as Richmond are made from 36% Repreve recycled polyester. While our rug collection includes products made from undyed pure NZ wool and 100% recycled plastic. We now use water-based glue rather than oil-based in our furniture.

• Circular Models

  How does your circular model or circular initiative work?

  King takes a circular economy approach by considering the end-to-end life cycle of a product at every stage. A benefit of owning this process means we have control over the design, manufacturing, delivery, and after-care of our furniture. As a vertically integrated business, we control every stage of the process. Precision engineered steel frames ensure longevity and can be fully recycled at end-of-life. Recyclable cardboard boxes reduce the need for plastic packaging. Modular designs reduce wasted space in transport containers, lowering the carbon footprint. Electrical products are ROHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant.
