Thank you for your interest in the sustainability of our urban furniture! It's a question we're passionate about. The recycled content in our benches varies by material. For our steel benches, we typically use a significant percentage of post-consumer and post-industrial recycled steel, often exceeding 80% in many models. This not only diverts waste from landfills but also significantly reduces the energy required for production compared to virgin steel.
Our aluminum benches follow a similar principle. Aluminum is inherently one of the most recyclable materials on earth. We source aluminum with high recycled content, which can often be as high as 90% or more. The beautiful part is that recycling aluminum saves about 95% of the energy needed to make new aluminum from raw ore, without compromising the metal's strength or durability.
We are committed to transparent and responsible sourcing. Our manufacturing partners help us track and verify the recycled content to ensure our products support a circular economy. This means the bench you install today could contain material from old appliances, cars, or previous construction projects, giving it a new, long life in your community.
Choosing a bench with high recycled content is a direct contribution to greener urban planning. It reduces the environmental footprint of your project while providing durable, low-maintenance, and aesthetically pleasing seating for public spaces. We believe that functional urban design and environmental stewardship can, and should, go hand in hand.
