Actually, nothing changes.
And yet, everything does.

SARA – Particleboard Made from Recycled Waste Wood

The problem: Large quantities of waste wood are burned or disposed of at the end of their useful life—and the carbon stored in the wood is released back into the atmosphere as CO₂.

The use of new particleboard made from previously used wood helps to counteract this environmental impact.

SARA – Particleboard made from 100% recycled waste wood, manufactured without using any newly harvested wood.

From Wood Scraps to Functional Furniture—and
Back Again

Reduce. Reuse. Recycle.

Waste wood is reused, and
attached materials such as glass, steel, or aluminum
are separated and also recycled

Certified Quality

The SARA panel complies with the E05 standard
and is PEFC-certified

4 Good Reasons to Choose SARA

The SARA panel is made from 100%
recycled scrap wood—with absolutely no
newly harvested wood

Certified Quality:
PEFC-certified and
tested in accordance with
the German E05 standard

Thinking in terms of the circular economy: Waste wood
is sorted by type and processed
into new furniture-grade panels

Built to last:
WINI furniture featuring the SARA panel is designed
to provide the longest possible service life

The idea: Waste wood (classified according to the EAV (European Waste Catalog), such as old furniture, pallets, lumber, etc.) is chipped and processed into new, high-quality furniture panels. Adhering materials, such as glass, steel, or aluminum, are sorted by type during the processing stage and sent for recycling.

SARA is manufactured without any newly harvested wood—it is made exclusively from recycled scrap wood. This conserves wood as a resource and keeps the carbon it contains in the material cycle for longer.

SARA wood is certified (PEFC) and meets the German E05 standard.

Thinking in Terms of the Cycle

Für SARA wird Altholz (klassifiziert nach EAV (Europäischer Abfallkatalog) wie z. B. alte Möbel, Paletten, Bauholz, etc.) zerspant und zu neuen, hochwertigen Möbelbauplatten verarbeitet. Anhaftende Materialien, wie zum Beispiel Glas, Stahl oder Aluminium, werden im Aufarbeitungsprozess sortenrein getrennt und dem Recycling zugeführt. Tischplatten und Schränke werden so am Ende ihrer Gebrauchsdauer wieder zum Rohstoff neuer Büromöbel.

Metals, glass, stones, and other contaminants are separated from the waste wood. The pure wood components are chipped to produce new, high-quality furniture-grade panels.

SARA – Particleboard made from 100% recycled scrap wood

Under the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), additional due diligence requirements for raw materials such as wood will apply to large and medium-sized enterprises as of December 30, 2026, and to micro and small enterprises as of June 30, 2027.

Recycled scrap wood instead of new wood

With WINI office furniture featuring the SARA panel, you can combine design with recycled materials: The SARA panel is made from 100% recycled wood and is PEFC-certified. Recycling scrap wood extends the useful life of wood as a raw material and reduces the demand for virgin wood. Furniture made from post-industrial wood, scrap wood, or end-of-life products returns wood to the cycle and thus contributes to the circular economy.

WINI furniture made with the SARA panel is designed for a long service life—backed by a 10-year long-term warranty for commercial customers. This allows you to combine durable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing work environments with the conscious use of recycled materials.
