Thank you for asking about the sustainability of our outdoor bench materials—it's a question at the heart of what we do. We believe true comfort outdoors must go hand-in-hand with responsibility to the planet.
Our primary focus is on sourcing materials with a verified and positive environmental story. For our wooden benches, we use either FSC-certified hardwood or beautifully weathered reclaimed timber. This certification ensures the wood comes from forests managed to preserve biodiversity and support local communities. Our metal components contain a high percentage of recycled content, and we utilize powder-coating finishes that are low in VOCs.
A standout line in our collection features benches made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic. This diverts waste from landfills and oceans, creating a remarkably durable product that resists rot, splintering, and pests for decades, without the need for chemical treatments.
Durability is a cornerstone of our sustainability philosophy. By engineering benches to last for generations with minimal upkeep, we reduce the need for replacement and the consumption of future resources. We partner with suppliers who share our ethical values, ensuring fair labor practices throughout the chain.
Our journey toward sustainability is ongoing. We continuously evaluate new materials, like composite alternatives, and strive to optimize our packaging and logistics to lower our carbon footprint. When you choose one of our benches, you're investing in a piece designed for lasting enjoyment and a lighter impact on the earth. We're committed to providing places to connect with nature, while actively working to protect it.
