NATURAL MATERIALS FOR SUSTAINABLE INTERIOR DESIGN

By using our natural organoid surfaces, you are bringing nature to people. At the same time, you are supporting local agriculture and using resources which would otherwise be thrown away. Organoid is your partner who understands sustainability and is certified to implement it.

Fresh off the press

Good jobs and economic growth
Innovation and infrastructure
Sustainable consumption and production
Take action to combat climate change and its impact
Life in rural areas
Peace, justice, and strong institutions
Partnerships für the goals

You can find all our measures and values for sustainable trade here.

Innovation

Ongoing research into even more environmentally friendly production methods

Organoid is part of the Bioeconomy Austria network. Together with our research partners, we are working on even more sustainable manufacturing methods and highly durable coatings in line with the principles of a circular economy. New, innovative materials made from natural materials, such as highly resistant and durable flexible wood veneers, should be able to withstand high mechanical stress in the future and fulfil systemic requirements such as flame and fire resistance.

Direct Trade

Cooperation with local farmers

We receive our Alpine hay and flower petals from farmers in our close vicinity. For their hard work and the extraordinary quality they provide, we pay up to seven times the normal market price per kilogram of hay. That way we actively support local farmers and create value in the region.

for humans

Biophilic Design

Organoid takes nature to where people spend most of their time: indoors. The natural surfaces have a calming effect with their look, feel and fragrance and add a nature experience to the room.

Organoid is certified ClimatePartner

We are carbon neutral – and so are our products!

How does that work exactly? Together with ClimatePartner, we monitored the CO₂emissions of our company and drew up our Corporate Carbon Footprint (CCF). This includes heating, energy consumption, commuting, business trips and office supplies.

Wherever possible, we avoid and reduce these emissions. We update our CCF on a regular basis to always have an overview of our measures. All unavoidable CO₂emissions are offset by supporting a climate protection project. That is why we are a climate-neutral company, and all our products are climate-neutral.

Our products are marked with the independent label “climate-neutral”, so our customers can track our climate neutrality and learn more about the climate protection project. This way, we have the highest possible level of transparency about the climate neutrality of the company and our products.

CONTRIBUTION TO CLIMATE PROTECTION

To offset our carbon emissions, we support a climate protection project which is acknowledged by ClimatePartner and certified according to international standards. For every ton of CO₂emitted, we send a contribution to the Austrian Nature Park Karwendel to co-finance projects for the preservation of local ecosystems. This project combines regional commitment with international climate protection.

FOR THE FUTURE

ACTIVE UPCYCLING

Did you know? We care a great deal about the origin of our natural fibres. We give a new life to natural materials and also use waste products for our surfaces, like moss, stone pine shavings or lavender. Additionally, we also use leftovers of the food industry like peppermint or spelt.

Reduce, Reuse & Recycle

Did you ever ask yourself what happens to organoid leftover pieces? They find a new, meaningful use if they are provided to local institutions. Social institutions or kindergartens use the natural material to do handicrafts or to put a special touch on their work. Unnecessary waste is avoided, and the people enjoy working with real, scented natural materials.

The organization Lebenshilfe Landeck creates magical things and recycles the organoid leftovers in a meaningful way. You can see how that’s done in this Video:
