Muebles Lídex has optimised its production through an innovative process that integrates the circular economy at its core. By utilising offcuts, that is to say, the remnants of materials generated during the main production of its tourist furniture, Lidex creates an alternative line of functional, high-quality furniture.

This approach not only minimises resource waste but also allows for offering furniture at more accessible prices for other sectors, such as education or health. The offcuts, previously considered waste, are now transformed into valuable raw material for the creation of new products.

Nancy Pérez Broche, Head of the solid wood workshop of the UEB Muebles Líder, said that the workers are currently engrossed in the furniture for the northern cays of Ciego de Ávila and that from all these productions a series of offcuts are being generated which are usable.

“We use it in various productions such as chairs, tables for childcare centres, cots for children which are delivered to the MINCIN and are generally distributed to various programmes; additionally, we also have delivery commitments to some organisations,” pointed out Pérez Broche.
Furthermore, she stated that they worked hard on the past activities of the 26th of July, which was a rather engrossing task, which we fulfilled the furniture delivery on time and correctly, thereby meeting the commitments which is the most important thing we have today in the work.

The production of Muebles Lídex from offcuts is a clear example of how creativity, innovation and commitment to sustainability can drive economic and social development, generating value from what was previously considered waste.
