Arper Releases 2025 Sustainability Report

Arper’s has released the 2025 Sustainability Report, which highlights the brand’s continued progress in bringing design and sustainability closer together. Now in its fourth edition, this year’s report is grounded in designing for longevity, and in the idea that one of the most meaningful ways to reduce impact is to create products that last.
This principle is rooted in the fact that roughly two thirds of the brand’s footprint comes from purchased materials, making every piece kept in use one less that needs to be made. The collections in Arper’s current catalogue have been in production for an average of nearly ten years, and its pieces are designed to be disassembled and repaired rather than replaced. The brand also refurbishes returned products and offers rentals as an alternative to purchase, keeping pieces in use for longer. These efforts are reflected in Arper’s 58% score on the Federlegno Arredo Circularity Index, which measures how well a company preserves resources, extends product life, and recovers materials. The report is also clear about what is not yet measured, outlining next steps to strengthen this approach: Arper is developing a method to track and repair refurbishment work in 2026, with a first baseline to follow in 2027.
The report also reflects meaningful progress on climate. In 2025, Arper reduced its total carbon footprint by 38.1% compared with its 2022 baseline, exceeding the 28.5% reduction it had committed to achieving by 2030. The largest decline came from purchased materials, down 44.4%, while the report also notes that direct emissions from its facilities and some energy-related emissions rose over the same period. Recycled sources now account for 28.1% of the polypropylene Arper uses, and the Catifa Carta chair, introduced in 2024 with a shell made from PaperShell’s kraft paper material, has a life-cycle footprint 20% to 39% lower than its traditional plastic counterpart.
Equally significant is Arper’s commitment to local production, with a supply chain deeply rooted in the brand’s Italian origins and built on long-standing relationships with local manufacturers. 78.5% of Arper’s suppliers are located within 100 km of its headquarters, 92% are based in Italy, and 96.9% in Europe, allowing the brand to know the people and expertise behind each piece.
These achievements highlight Arper’s ongoing commitment to sustainable progress, and there’s even more in the full report. View the 2025 Sustainability Report in its entirety HERE.
