Committed to Sustainability
At WAGA, sustainability shapes every decision we make. This dedication to eco-friendly practices is at the heart of every piece we create, making each one a testament to both beauty and sustainability.
01
Responsible Sourcing
Here at WAGA, we know that great art starts with the quality and origin of the materials used. We carefully select our woods—walnut, maple, and ash—from local Konjic forests that are managed with the utmost care and respect for the environment. We ensure that our sourcing practices promote the health and sustainability of these ecosystems, preserving them for generations to come.
02
Certification and Compliance
Our suppliers are Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified, which serves as further evidence of our commitment to sustainability. This certification is more than just a label; it’s evidence that Waga’s wood is in compliance with the strictest forest management standards set by a well-known organization. By choosing WAGA, our customers are assured that they are supporting a brand that prioritizes responsible wood sourcing and contributes positively to the global effort of sustainability.
03
Embracing a Circular Economy
By repurposing leftover wood from our industry, WAGA actively takes steps in a circular economy. We view every piece of scrap wood as a vital resource for new creations, as this allows us to dramatically reduce waste and improve resource efficiency. Furthermore, WAGA also recycles its own waste for different purposes, like turning wood scraps into pellets for warmth. Our commitment is to continually innovate in waste reduction, supporting a more sustainable and waste-free industry.
04
Commitment to Eco-Friendly Practices
Beyond our materials, we carry our environmental responsibility into all aspects of our production. We use only natural, non-toxic materials, such as WoCa glues and flaxseed oils, to ensure that our products are safe for both our customers and the environment. Even our packaging is made from recycled and biodegradable materials to have as little of an effect on the environment as possible.
Our goal is to create sustainable and eco-friendly products that promote a healthier planet for future generations, as these aspects form the core of WAGA’s philosophy.
