Goal 12.5: By 2030, substantially reduce waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling and reuse.

Goal 12.6: Encourage companies, especially large and transnational companies, to adopt sustainable practices and to integrate sustainability information into their reporting cycle.

Another very important area of Eva Solo is the products we design, produce through manufacturing partners, and place on the market. Through our product development, there is a large potential for achieving more positive impact. To that end, we have initiated a focus on sustainable and circular design. According to the European Commission, approx. 80% of a product’s environmental footprint is decided in the design process because of the materials chosen and how the product is designed. At Eva Solo, we have adopted a set of design principles that we will use for guidance going forward. In this regard, we also have an increasing focus on the materials we use in our products and we aim to ensure that they are as sustainable and responsible as possible.

Goal 15.2: Promote the implementation of sustainable management of all types of forests, halt deforestation, restore degraded forests and substantially increase afforestation and reforestation globally.

In support of SDG Life on Land, we have set ourselves the goal of becoming FSC®-certified. Going forward, our products made primarily of wood will be FSC-certified whenever possible. FSC, Forest Stewardship Council®, is an international certification body for responsible forest management. An FSC certification means that the wood used in the products originates from forests managed in a sustainable way that preserves biological diversity and benefits the lives of local people and workers, while ensuring it sustains economic viability. Furthermore, our paper-based packaging is increasingly sourced from responsible producers.
