That's a fantastic question, and one we're passionate about! When it comes to selecting the most eco-friendly material for our outdoor benches, we focus on a combination of recycled content, responsible sourcing, and exceptional longevity. Our top choice is high-density recycled plastic lumber (HDPE).
Crafted from post-consumer plastics like milk jugs and detergent bottles, this material gives waste a second, beautiful life. It requires zero painting, staining, or sealing, eliminating the need for chemical maintenance. It's incredibly durable, rot-proof, and splinter-free, ensuring a bench that lasts for decades without degrading.
For a natural wood option, we exclusively use FSC-certified teak or thermally modified ash. The FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certification guarantees the wood comes from responsibly managed forests that support biodiversity and local communities. Thermally modified ash uses heat instead of chemicals to enhance durability, making it a non-toxic alternative.
Our eco-philosophy is simple: the most sustainable product is the one that lasts the longest. By choosing materials that withstand the elements without harmful treatments and that originate from recycled or certified sources, we create benches that are kind to the planet and built to serve your outdoor space for generations. It’s about creating timeless pieces where environmental responsibility and enduring quality meet.
