Did you know that Velcro was inspired by the burdock plant? That dolphins and bats were using SONAR long before our manufactured boats? Or that the octopus was the design idea behind human-made suction cups? (Only theirs are much better...)
It is this kind of nature-based thinking that keeps ENKEV®'s products at the forefront of sustainable development, whatever industry, service or solution we are designing for. Find out more about some of our innovations below.

Markets

ENKEV® is constantly developing new ideas and products for our traditional furniture and related markets. By combining our natural materials with modern automated process techniques, we continue to expand our range across a variety of markets, from shoe insoles to product packaging.

Natural

Natural is the only way we have ever done things, and the only way we ever will. Sourcing the finest natural raw materials, we build relationships directly with farmers, ensuring full traceability across our supply chains, higher wages and decent living conditions for the people we source from.

Circular

Every day we work towards our goal of becoming fully circular. With this in mind, we developed Labyrinth®, a 100% traceable and circular product. We take responsibility for recovering our products at the end of their lifecycle, breaking them down to create new ones, closing the loop and working towards a completely waste-free system.

Other

Turning natural fibres into quality products is just the beginning. With circular design rapidly evolving, we are inspired to put sustainable solutions at the forefront of everything we do. After all, it is part of our heritage. We strongly believe that the future is holistic, which is why we apply circular design principles across all aspects of creating, remaking and delivering our materials, products and services.
