I want to buy a chair that’s good for my back and good for the planet. What sustainable materials and certifications should I look for?
Yes—2026 has seen a major push toward sustainable design. Look for chairs using 100% recycled plastic, like Arper's Catifa (RE) 46, or bio-based materials like hemp and eelgrass, as seen in the Mat Chair. The WiChair uses recycled and recyclable materials assembled with screws for easy repair, achieving a low carbon footprint. Haworth's Aloha Pro uses bio-based foam with 29% renewable materials and is 87% recyclable. For hard flooring, the CASTORINA 2.0 soft casters from Blickle are made from 98% recycled materials and preserve floors while reducing noise.
