Eco-Solution

To mitigate waste and reduce carbon emissions, the ESI team proposed an eco solution to repurpose at least 50% of the off-
cut wood. It was recommended that Gamar Furniture introduce a new line of products, including table objects, toys, and
home decor items, utilising the off-cuts in conjunction with existing products. Images of typical wood off-cuts are shown in
Table 4.
