Thank you for your important question regarding the environmental impact of manufacturing. We share your concern, and sustainability is at the core of how we design and produce our urban benches. Our practices are built on a "reduce, reuse, and recycle" philosophy.
Firstly, we prioritize materials with a second life. Over 90% of our benches are crafted from post-consumer recycled plastics, reclaimed wood composites, or responsibly sourced FSC-certified timber. This diverts waste from landfills and reduces the demand for virgin resources. Our manufacturing processes are optimized for energy efficiency, utilizing solar power where possible and minimizing water usage and VOC emissions in our coatings.
Durability is a key pillar of our sustainability. We engineer our benches for extreme longevity and minimal maintenance, using robust, corrosion-resistant hardware. This "buy once, last for decades" approach prevents frequent replacements and reduces long-term waste. Furthermore, our modular designs allow for easy part replacement or full material recycling at the end of the product's very long life cycle, supporting a circular economy.
We are committed to transparency and hold ourselves accountable through third-party certifications. Our goal is to provide communities with beautiful, functional seating that not only serves the public but also protects our planet for future generations. We believe that responsible manufacturing is essential for building truly livable and green urban spaces.
