IT’S ALL ABOUT THE CHILDREN
Hoppekids’ dream is to create a better future for
the children. That’s the essence of everything we
do. It is the heart and soul of our every day.
We fight for a better future by:
• Creating the safest and most sustainable
children’s furniture which promotes good
sleep, play, and creative learning.
• Constantly improving ourselves in regards to
the standards for environment, health, and
quality that the 5 Nordic countries have made
for the Nordic Ecolabel. (read more on page 32)
• Involving ourselves in good initiatives which
create a lasting change for the children and
those who fight for them (read more on page 92)
What does the Nordic Swan Ecolabel mean
for Hoppekids’ production – and for you?
For furniture – and for many other industries – the
production is what makes the biggest impact on the
environment. That is why we are striving to create
furniture which has as long a life span as possible.
Furniture carrying the Nordic Swan Ecolabel has to
live up to strict standards regarding its impact on the
environment and health, as well as its security and quality.
Our beds should be able to be passed on from a bigger
sibling to a smaller. The bed should also always fit the
child and the room in which it is placed. That’s why our
furniture is flexible and can be changed to always match
your needs. It’s super easy - you can just add a module
underneath your junior bed to make a brand-new high
sleeper!
We are working closely with the Nordic Swan Ecolabel
and it has been a pleasure going through our products’
life cycles – from before the wood is harvested and right
until the bed has to be recycled. The result is a production
which makes the least impact on the environment and
exclusively uses wood from sustainable sources.
It also means that our products have the least affect
possible in your child’s room. This is ensured by
exclusively using water-based lacquer.
We usually say that it’s perfectly safe to “taste” our
furniture because there are no harmful substances
in them...but, honestly: They’re not nearly as tasty as
chocolate!
