Teak

Our solid teak furniture is produced in our own factory in Java Indonesia.

Our factory is American owned and operated, we employ local Javanese staff who are paid an above average wage with modern working conditions. The welfare of our local staff is important to us.

Our Teak Furniture is constructed to last for many,many years. It is made from a natural resource and no heavy industrial process or chemicals are used in the manufacture.

We have a firm commitment that all of our furniture is made from Sustainably Harvested Teak. This is important to us and ensures that there is a continued supply of teak wood for many generations to come.

Our teak originates from forests regulated by Indonesia’s Sustainable Forest Management (SFM/PHPL) and Verification of Timber Legality (TLAS/SVLK) systems, designed to promote the sustainability of future teak harvests while ensuring legal trade. Teak used in the manufacture of our products is Certified from well managed, responsibly harvested plantations on Java, Indonesia.  

The trees are harvested and new trees are planted in their place, each tree absorbing Carbon Dioxide as it grows.

Olefin Fabric Cushions

Olefin fabric offers a compelling environmental advantage. Derived from polypropylene, a byproduct of oil and ethylene production, olefin represents the upcycling of a previously wasted resource. Instead of being burned off, as was traditionally the case with propylene gas, it’s now transformed into a durable and versatile textile. This upcycling process significantly reduces its carbon footprint. Furthermore, olefin production requires no land or water use, further minimizing its environmental impact. The fiber itself is also highly recyclable, capable of being re-extruded up to ten times without significant degradation, promoting a circular economy and reducing waste. Compared to other outdoor fabric options, olefin’s eco-friendly profile makes it a clear choice for environmentally conscious consumers.

 

We recycle and reuse where possible e.g.  Wooden pallets used in packing are recycled pallets. Recyclable packaging (cardboard, paper) is used in shipping and packing wherever possible. All of the cardboard lining used in the shipping containers is used again by us to package orders. Our products are all packaged in cardboard and/or cardboard boxes.

We have phased out any single use plastic bottles and packaging in our office supplies. We endeavour for our processes to be paperless where possible.
