Mater Take-back
A revolutionary way of thinking
furniture production
Since we developed the material,
it is our responsibility to take it back.
Mater offers to take back furniture made of
our patented Matek® materials at their end of life.
The Matek materials are designed to be recycled again and
again using our technology and made into new furniture
classics.
Since Mater is the sole proprietor of Matek and we
have the technology to recycle it, we also see it as our
responsibility to offer a take-back system.
Highly ambitious about transforming the furniture industry into
being more responsible, Mater developed 5 unique Matek material
formulas. With Matek, Mater helps limit the world’s use of virgin
materials and reduce carbon emissions.
