When you pause to rest on one of our city benches, you're not just taking a break—you're supporting environmental sustainability. We're often asked: "Are the materials used in your urban benches recycled or sustainable?" The answer is a resounding yes to both.
Our commitment to green urban design begins with material selection. Every bench frame primarily consists of recycled aluminum and steel, diverting industrial waste from landfills while maintaining exceptional structural integrity. The slats and surfaces showcase our innovative approach—we use recycled plastic lumber made from post-consumer bottles and containers, transformed into weather-resistant, maintenance-free components that withstand decades of urban use.
For our wooden elements, we source exclusively from FSC-certified forests or use reclaimed timber from deconstructed buildings and fallen urban trees. This careful sourcing ensures no deforestation occurs for our products while giving new life to materials that would otherwise go to waste.
Beyond materials, our manufacturing process reflects our environmental ethos. We've implemented closed-loop water systems in our production facilities and power our factories with renewable energy. Each bench requires 45% less energy to produce compared to conventional alternatives, significantly reducing its carbon footprint from creation to installation.
The durability of our benches represents another layer of sustainability. With an average lifespan of 25+ years—nearly double that of traditional benches—they dramatically reduce replacement frequency and associated environmental impacts. Their modular design allows for easy repair of individual components rather than full replacement, further extending their service life while minimizing waste.
Our transparent supply chain ensures every material can be traced back to its origin, with 78% sourced within 500 miles of our manufacturing facilities to reduce transportation emissions. We regularly publish third-party verified environmental impact reports, so our community can see the tangible benefits of choosing our sustainable seating.
From the recycled content in our metal components to the sustainable wood in our armrests, every element serves both functional and environmental purposes. These benches don't just provide seating—they represent our dedication to creating public spaces that honor both people and planet, offering comfortable rest while supporting circular economy principles that benefit urban ecosystems.
