Sustainable Wood Furniture: Earth Day - Inspired Home Decor
The rise of sustainable and eco-friendly furniture is not a trend - it’s become a standard for many customers and designers to use furniture and home decor with minimal impact on the environment. For Earth Day, we wanted to highlight one of the most natural and renewable materials for furniture - wood!
Not only are natural wood pieces beautiful, but they are also incredibly durable. Only a few chemicals and resources are used in producing furniture sourced from recycled or upcycled wood. Furthermore, wood pieces can be recycled and reused at the end of their use.
WHAT IS SUSTAINABLE WOOD, AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
Sustainable wood is derived in an environmentally responsible manner and mindful of social impacts. It plays a crucial role in the health and sustainability of forests and the communities reliant on them. This approach aligns with the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals and is supported by the Paris Agreement, acknowledging the role of forests in climate mitigation.
Advances in tracking the life cycle of wood products contribute to the transition towards low-carbon economies, enhancing the well-being of communities, improving landscapes, and significantly reducing global carbon and material footprints. Choosing sustainable wood is pivotal in conserving forests, vital for biodiversity, fighting deforestation, and climate change. It also supports ethical forestry practices and ensures the fair treatment and economic sustainability of those involved in its production and harvesting.
TYPES OF SUSTAINABLE WOOD
Many types of wood are produced and forested sustainably, including beech, maple, black cherry, mango, bamboo, ash, teak, and eastern red cedar.
