SUSTAINABLE FURNITURE AND INTERIOR DESIGN
Sustainable Furniture & Interior Design
The Friend of the Earth standard for sustainable furniture, home decor and interior design allows manufacturers to intuitively and unambiguously inform consumers and customers about the role they play in reducing their impact on the environment. It enables consumers to make purchasing choices that are environmentally and socially responsible.
Sustainable furniture and the built environment use materials which are either recycled or selected from sources of proven sustainable origin. Processing and finishing must be carried out to reduce environmental impacts and according to social accountability principles. Finally, furniture and built structures must be fully and easily recyclable at the end of their useful life.
