Presentation of the sustainability-focused competition inviting design students to create innovative, circular furniture concepts using ECOR panels with NeoLigno — emphasizing minimal waste, modern aesthetics, functionality, and ergonomics. The winner will showcase their design at Interzum, Cologne, and a monetary prize.

ECOR Global is transforming the board industry with a revolutionary fiberboard made entirely from agricultural waste and bonded with NeoLigno® – Stora Enso’s bio-based, formaldehyde-free adhesive. This innovation eliminates harmful chemicals, offering healthier indoor environments and reducing the product’s CO2 footprint compared to traditional materials. Together, NeoLigno and ECOR showcase the potential of circular design by creating recyclable, high-performance panels for the sustainable projects of tomorrow.
