This includes minimizing fuel consumption and recycling sheet metal and wood by-products. Companies manufacturing ecofriendly furniture products procure wood from plantations that grow sustainable plants and have a long term conservation policy.
For example, Crate and Barrel, a North American home retailer is working directly with the Tropical Forest Trust to ensure that the selected hardwood for manufacturing of their furniture is from sustainable plantations that are managed for their long term conservation. Similarly, Ashley Furniture Industries, Inc. has adopted a green approach wherein it focuses on replenishing, recycling and reusing of furniture by using recyclable engineered wood and by reducing raw materials wastage.
