Proudly Part of a Bigger Sustainability Commitment

RePlay is just one part of Sebel’s broader approach to responsible manufacturing and sustainable school furniture. From locally made products using recycled materials to low-waste production methods, we’re rethinking every stage of the product lifecycle.

We’re committed to creating a cleaner, more circular future by:

  • Giving our iconic products a second life with RePlay.

  • Diverting furniture waste from landfill

  • Integrating recycled plastics into our product range.

  • Reducing our emissions and energy consumption by switching to electric vehicles, and installing solar panels and heat pump systems at our sites.

This is just the beginning - our journey toward sustainability is ongoing, and we’re proud to be leading the way in responsible manufacturing.

Sustainability At Sebel
From responsible product design to materials selection and waste reduction, we’re committed to improving our sustainability footprint through new thinking linked to meaningful targets. We’re taking considered, practical steps every day to make a serious, long-term impact.
