SustainNOW Podcast - Learn from entrepreneurs & scientists about climate solutions

Today, we're focusing on MuteBox, a company dedicated to redefining workspace design by offering modular phone booths and meeting rooms with a sustainability focus.

Joining us are Christian Toft Bach, who is leading MuteBox's marketing efforts and joint the company almost from day 1, and Adil Sheikh, who is focusing on the design of Mutebox to reduce the carbon footprint.

Together, they'll discuss how MuteBox is addressing the new hybrid working environment and at the same time reducing the environmental impact.

MuteBox aims to provide sustainable, flexible solutions prioritizing employee satisfaction and acoustic optimization.

Christian and Adil will share insights into the company's vision and the challenges they face in creating greener and more hybrid workspaces.

Before we dive in, let's consider the importance of sustainable workspace design in reducing environmental impact. 6% of the global emissions is only contributed by energy consumption of commercial properties. Around 10-15% of the global emissions can be linked to office space if you include construction, furniture, energy and etc.

So, if you're interested in sustainable workspace solutions, join us as we explore MuteBox's journey toward a greener future in the office space.
