Furniture
Makers
The furniture industry is truly
appalling in terms of sustainability -do try to buy furniture
that is not made from dwindling tropical hardwood stocks and
shipped halfway round the world -timber sources should be FSC
Certified by the Forestry Stewardship
Council. Ask to see the details of origin and certification
-that will cause some retailers to stop and think.
Being sustainable is not just
a case of avoiding uncertified tropical hardwoods -there are
a number of very good designers specialising in furniture made
from recycled materials or renewable components, such as David Colwell or Roy Tam. Other sites
featuring environmentally sustainable furniture are highlighted
in bold.
