Our Vision

Transforming Australia's Furniture Industry for a Sustainable Future

AFISC is leading the charge in redefining Australia's furniture sector through a sustainable circular economy model.

We prioritise product longevity, repairability, recyclability, and the use of low-impact, innovative materials. By aligning with global sustainability goals, we're empowering the industry to drastically reduce its environmental footprint.

At the heart of our mission is the Furniture Passport Australia System (FPAS), offering unparalleled traceability and transparency to empower manufacturers, retailers, and consumers to make responsible decisions.
