When selecting eco-friendly urban outdoor furniture, we prioritize materials that combine sustainability with durability and style. Our primary sustainable materials include:
1. Recycled Plastic Lumber: Made from post-consumer and post-industrial plastic waste, this material prevents plastic from entering landfills and oceans. It's exceptionally durable, resistant to moisture, insects, and rot, and requires no painting or sealing. It's ideal for benches, tables, and chairs that withstand heavy urban use.
2. FSC-Certified Teak: We source teak from forests certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), ensuring it comes from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social, and economic benefits. Teak is naturally resistant to the elements and develops a beautiful silver-gray patina over time.
3. Recycled and Powder-Coated Aluminum: Aluminum is highly recyclable, and our furniture uses a significant percentage of recycled content. The powder-coating process is more environmentally friendly than traditional liquid paints as it emits fewer VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) and creates a durable, long-lasting finish that resists chipping and fading.
These materials are chosen for their low environmental impact, longevity, and ability to thrive in urban settings, reducing the need for frequent replacement and minimizing waste.
