We at Furniture by Design are committed to reducing our carbon foot print with simple but very affective methods listed as follows.
1. 75% of our work force cycle in to work when possible.
2. Our wood is carefully sourced from FSC certified companies, to ensure it comes from managed forests where every 1 tree chopped down another 2 are planted.
3. We burn our off cuts of wood in our own wood burners which ensures 75% of our waste is not just dumped on landfill, and wood is recycled back into the atmosphere.
4. Because we make our own furniture and it comes direct to you we eliminate any cardboard boxes having to be used.
What is FSC? | |||||||||||||||
Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is a non-profit organization devoted to encouraging the responsible management of the world’s forests. FSC sets high standards that ensure forestry is practiced in an environmentally responsible, socially beneficial, and economically viable way. Landowners and companies that sell timber or forest products seek certification as a way to verify to consumers that they have practiced forestry consistent with FSC standards. Independent, certification organizations are accredited by FSC to carry out assessments of forest management to determine if standards have been met. These certifiers also verify that companies claiming to sell FSC certified products have tracked their supply back to FSC certified sources. This chain of custody certification assures that consumers can trust the FSC label. Trusted environmental organizations including Greenpeace, National Wildlife Federation, The Nature Conservancy, Sierra Club, and World Wildlife Fund all support and encourage FSC certification. Consumers wishing to support healthy forests and communities should look and ask for the FSC label when purchasing wood or paper products. FSC-US, based in Washington, DC, is the U.S. “chapter” of FSC International, based in Bonn Germany. For more information about FSC at the International level, please visit www.fsc.org.
