Making a difference

one workplace at a time

Our Approach

At Gustav, we believe in creating office solutions that not only enhance your workspace but also respect and protect our planet. Here’s how we try to make a difference through our sustainability strategy:

Non-endangered wood species

We prioritize using sustainable raw materials and recycled fabrics. Our toolboxes are crafted from fast-growing, non-endangered wood species. This helps ensure that each item we create is both high-quality and environmentally responsible.

Ethical Production

All our toolboxes are made in Greece by a family business. By producing locally, we aim to reduce our transport footprint and lower carbon emissions. For all our products we have a strict selection process for fair labor practices. See our video showing the production below.

Fighting throwaway culture

We challenge the throwaway culture by building products for durability and longetivity. This focus on durability helps us minimize waste and promote sustainable resource use.

Recycled Material

Our bags are produced by recycled material according to Global Recycled Standard, which includes recycled cotton, recycled Repreve recycled PU leather, felt parts from recycled single use plastic bottles. Repreve is a traceable fiber - which is the essential ingredient that makes products more earth friendly.

Eco-friendly packaging

We strive to reduce waste through minimal packaging. We use cardboard by default, and only recycled plastics. Our approach aims to ensure that our packaging has a low environmental impact, further supporting our commitment to sustainability.

Transparency

We believe in being transparent and keeping our customers informed about our progress. Our goal is to help you make informed decisions and understand the positive impact of choosing Gustav.
