We see open innovation through knowledge exchange as an essential contribution to the creation of a sustainable future. Findings from collaborations and the lively exchange through networking are continuously incorporated into our improvement processes. Our proven furniture series Design Thinking Line, for example, is the result of our close partnership with the Hasso Plattner Institute and stands for agility and sustainability.
Continuous innovation is a fundamental part of our corporate philosophy. In intensive research work we dedicate ourselves specifically to sustainability topics. For many years we have been driving the marketability of bio-based material innovations and substitutes through our participation in various research consortia, including partners such as the Fraunhofer Institute, TU Berlin, HNE Eberswalde and UdK Berlin.
Under the leadership of the Fraunhofer IAP and accompanied by the HNE Eberswalde, System 180 is currently participating in the joint research project ReSpan as an application partner. The aim of the project is to develop a recycling process for wood-based materials. This would enable us to introduce another product line made of recycled material as an alternative to the MdF material used.
