That's an excellent and very important question. We believe that creating beautiful, durable outdoor furniture carries a responsibility to our planet. Our environmental impact is a core consideration at every stage of manufacturing our benches.
We start with our materials. The steel in our frames is primarily sourced from post-consumer and post-industrial recycled content, significantly reducing the energy and raw material extraction needed compared to virgin steel. For our wood components, we partner with suppliers certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), ensuring our timber comes from responsibly managed forests that promote biodiversity and regeneration.
Our production process is designed for efficiency. We utilize precision cutting technology to minimize material waste, and any wood offcuts are repurposed into smaller components or recycled. Our powder-coating finish is a key eco-friendly choice. Unlike traditional liquid paints, it produces virtually no volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and the process captures and reuses overspray, resulting in nearly zero waste emissions and a more durable, non-toxic finish.
Finally, we build for longevity. A bench that lasts for decades, resisting weather and wear, is the ultimate form of sustainability. It avoids the cycle of disposable furniture. From material sourcing to your backyard, we are committed to a process that respects our environment.
