Eco-Friendly Furniture for Your Home
By green furniture we do not mean colored green, but eco-friendly furniture that has been manufactured with minimum environmental impact. This might seem to be a paradox, since it takes many years for trees to grow, and only a few seconds to cut them down. However, there is yet no alternative to wood for high quality home furniture, and there is unlikely to be for many years yet.
Assuming that felling trees has to be accepted, there are furniture manufacturing companies that try to do so intelligently and in a sustainable manner. 'Sustainable' means in a way that will not eventually result in there being no trees left, but by growing new trees to replace those used.
As people are becoming more conscious about the environment, the demand for eco friendly products is increasing. And when it comes to furniture, the trend of going green is fast picking up.
Customers nowadays prefer to make an informed decision when it comes to choosing products for home décor and furniture. And why not? After all eco friendly furniture is made from non toxic renewable materials. Moreover, they offer umpteen benefits:
• Harmless to your health - Environmentally friendly home décor products and furniture are harmless to your health. After all health is wealth. You may choose a rather decorative piece of furniture for your home but if you come to know it was made from noxious materials and can be harmful to your kids and your health, would you still buy it? No way! Furniture made from toxic substances can affect the indoor air quality.
• Harmless manufacturing process - With eco friendly furniture you can be sure that the manufacturing process didn't harm the environment in any way. Now consider wooden furniture. You might think that since it is made from wood, it has caused environmental damage since trees have been cut to acquire the wood.But that's not the case. Eco friendly wooden furniture (unlike regular wooden furniture) is made from wood which is taken from certified wood harvesting sites. On these sites trees are grown for harvesting purpose only and as soon as old trees are cut, new trees are planted at the same time.
Eco friendly furniture is a new term generated by the furniture traders, and pertains to furniture which is not harmful for our environment. Normal furniture is made from all kinds of materials. Many pieces of furniture are sprayed with toxic paints or waxes. The toxic material is very harmful for the environment when the furniture is outdated and thrown out. On many occasions this furniture is placed in a location that creates atoxic runoff with wastewaters or they are burned and the toxic fumes goes up into the atmosphere. Eco friendly furniture on the other handis not treated with any such toxins. They are made from pure natural materials and will, if thrown away, not be toxic to our environment.
