That's an excellent and very important question. Thank you for asking! At the heart of our design philosophy is a commitment to responsible stewardship. So, to answer directly: yes, wherever and whenever possible, our urban benches are crafted from a thoughtful blend of sustainable *and* locally sourced materials. We believe that public furniture should enrich communities without depleting our planet.
The term "sustainable materials" for us means prioritizing recycled content, such as plastic lumber made from post-consumer bottles, and rapidly renewable resources like certified tropical hardwoods. These materials are chosen for their durability, low maintenance, and resistance to weathering, ensuring the benches last for years, reducing the need for replacement.
"Locally sourced" is equally crucial. By partnering with regional suppliers for components like steel frames or concrete bases, we significantly cut down on transportation emissions. This not only shrinks our carbon footprint but also supports local economies. Each bench becomes a product of its region, blending functionality with a reduced environmental impact.
Ultimately, every bench we install is more than a place to sit. It's a statement of care—for the people who use it, the community it resides in, and the environment we all share. We are constantly innovating to source smarter and design better, creating inviting public spaces that are built to last, responsibly.
