SUSTAINABLE AND RECYCLED FURNITURE

Sustainable decoration and furniture 

When it comes to decorating our homes, we are all looking for a balance between quality, design and price.  Comfort and versatility are also aspects that we tend to take into account.

More and more of us, in addition to quality, design and price, take into account factors such as where it has been produced, the materials used, the working conditions and the impact on the environment. Sustainable consumption is key to minimising the impact of our purchases when we decorate our homes. Opting for sustainable furniture has many benefits, both for ourselves, for society and for the environment.

Society is moving steadily towards sustainability and care for the planet. For this reason, nowadays, the offer of ecological furniture is increasing. There is a wide variety of designs and styles, both for indoor and outdoor furnishing.

If we want to consume eco-friendly furniture responsibly, it is important to know the origin and see the certificates. For example, the PEFC certificate for wood guarantees that the furniture is made from wood from sustainably managed forests. This label is vital for combating illegal logging and contributing to the maintenance of ecosystems and ecological diversity, as well as supporting rural populations.

Thanks to the hard work of many brands and manufacturers, it is possible to combine design, quality, price and sustainability in eco-friendly furniture. Giving a second life to materials, as well as using more sustainable processes in their manufacture, has become the commitment of many brands and also a commitment of many consumers to continue preserving our planet.

Advantages of eco-friendly furniture

- Benefits for the environment: by using recycled and recyclable materials, we reduce CO2 emissions, optimise natural resources and contribute to the circular economy. For example, the use of recycled polypropylene avoids 50% of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. For every kilo of recycled polypropylene used, the emission of 1.7kg of CO2 is avoided.

- Health benefits: we avoid the use of volatile synthetic products that can be harmful to health.

- Benefits for society: the local manufacture of sustainable furniture promotes the relocation of the economy, fixes population in the territory and causes less impact on the environment. 

- Significant savings: eco-furniture also represents a significant saving in the long term because, being made from quality natural materials, it is much more durable than mass-produced furniture manufactured under low-quality automated manufacturing processes.
