sustainability

At Lagom Hem, sustainability is at the core of everything we do. Our marketplace platform is being developed to reduce waste, extend the life cycle of products, and foster a circular economy in the home furniture and décor industry.

We believe that by giving imperfect and pre-loved items a second chance, we can make a positive impact on the environment and contribute to a more sustainable future.

Our platform is hosted on Krystal.io, 100% renewably powered services.

our commitment to sustainability

reducing waste

  • We are dedicated to helping customers reduce waste by promoting the sale of second-hand, customer-returned, and imperfect items that might otherwise be discarded. This will help to divert furniture and décor from landfills, prolonging their useful life.
  • We aim to collaborate with manufacturers and retailers to rescue returned items that are still functional but may have minor cosmetic flaws, giving them a new home.

supporting circular economy

  • Our marketplace will be designed to facilitate the circular economy by connecting buyers and sellers in the second-hand market. By keeping furniture and décor in circulation, we will reduce the need for new production, which in turn lowers carbon emissions and resource consumption.
  • We encourage customers to participate in the circular economy by selling, swapping, or donating items they no longer need.

ethical sourcing and partnerships

  • We will work with suppliers and partners who share our commitment to ethical sourcing, sustainable production, and responsible business practices.
  • We prioritise collaborating with businesses that use eco-friendly materials, minimise packaging, and have transparent supply chains.
  • We will create partnerships with charities and suppliers who facilitate planting trees and protecting the environment.

minimising our carbon footprint

  • Where possible, we will encourage eco-friendly shipping options, including local pickups, to reduce transportation emissions.
  • We are exploring carbon offset programmes to neutralise the environmental impact of deliveries.

promoting sustainable living

  • We are committed to educating our customers about sustainable living practices, providing tips on how to care for and refurbish second-hand items, and promoting a more mindful approach to consumption.
  • Through our content and community engagement, we aim to raise awareness of the environmental benefits of buying second-hand and choosing quality over quantity.
  • We will explore partnerships promoting sustainable decorating and living practices.

sustainable packaging

  • We encourage sellers to use minimal, recyclable, or biodegradable packaging when shipping items through our platform.

continuous improvement

  • Sustainability is an ongoing journey. We will regularly review and assess our practices to ensure that we are meeting our sustainability goals and exploring new ways to reduce our environmental footprint.
