The Society of British & International Interior Design has always been at the forefront of promoting sustainable and eco-friendly solutions in the world of design. And one company that is making a significant impact in this area is Sustonable. Their story is one of transformation, innovation, and a commitment to creating a better world.
Sustonable was founded in 2016 by two young entrepreneurs, Eva Gladek and Bas van Abel, with a vision to transform waste into stylish and practical solutions. The idea came to them when they saw the amount of waste produced by the fashion and interior design industries. They realized that this waste could be repurposed and given a new life, rather than ending up in landfills.
Their first product was the Sustonable Tile, a sustainable alternative to traditional tiles made from recycled PET bottles. These tiles not only reduce waste but also have a lower carbon footprint compared to traditional tiles. The founders’ passion for sustainability and design soon caught the attention of the interior design community, and Sustonable became a household name in the industry.
But Sustonable didn’t stop there. They continued to innovate and expand their product range, introducing new and unique solutions made from waste materials. One of their most popular products is the Sustonable Acoustic Panel, made from recycled denim. These panels not only provide excellent sound insulation but also add a touch of style to any space.
Apart from their commitment to sustainability, Sustonable also prioritizes the quality and functionality of their products. They work closely with designers and architects to ensure that their solutions not only meet the highest standards of sustainability but also meet the demands of modern design. This has earned them a loyal following among interior designers and homeowners alike.
But Sustonable’s impact goes beyond just creating stylish and practical solutions. They are also creating job opportunities for people with disabilities and refugees. By partnering with social enterprises, they are providing training and employment opportunities for these marginalized communities. This not only empowers them but also contributes to building a more inclusive society.
Sustonable’s commitment to sustainability, innovation, and social responsibility has earned them numerous awards and recognition. They have been featured in prestigious publications, such as Forbes and The Guardian, and have collaborated with renowned brands like IKEA and H&M. But for the founders, the most significant achievement is knowing that they are making a positive impact on the environment and society.
Today, Sustonable is a global brand, with their products being used in homes, offices, and public spaces around the world. Their success story is an inspiration to many, showing that sustainable solutions can be both stylish and practical. They have proven that with determination and a vision, anything is possible.
In a world where environmental issues are becoming increasingly urgent, companies like Sustonable are leading the way in creating a more sustainable future. They are a shining example of how businesses can make a positive impact on the planet while still being profitable. And as the Society of British & International Interior Design, we are proud to support and promote such initiatives.
We believe that it is the responsibility of the design industry to embrace sustainability and promote eco-friendly solutions. And Sustonable is a perfect example of how this can be achieved. Their story is a reminder that small changes can make a big difference and that we all have a role to play in creating a better world for future generations.
In conclusion, Sustonable’s journey from a simple idea to a global brand is a testament to the power of determination, innovation, and a commitment to sustainability. They have shown that waste can be transformed into beautiful and functional solutions, and that sustainability can be stylish. We applaud Sustonable for their efforts and look forward to seeing their continued impact on the world of design.
