Our mission at EWF Modern is to source quality products made from sustainable processes, when possible. We are big believers in partnerships with manufacturers whose products and mission align with ours when it comes to being green. We have highlighted the sustainability practices of a couple of manufacturers below. Check out our blog for more details.
More on GUS: Gus* is proud to introduce a revolutionary new eco-friendly material in select sofas, sectionals, accent chairs, and rug designs - a clean, ultra-soft, long-strand fiber material that is made from recycled plastic. It can be used to create premium cushion fill, fabric coverings, and woven products.
Vegan AppleSkin™ Leather retains the look and feel of natural leather, showcasing an attractive interplay of texture, luster, and refined comfort. The material is equally durable and easy to clean, resulting in designs that are both stylish and practical.
More on Ethnicraft: Their teak collection includes products certified as FSC® 100%. They carry the FSC® CoC (Chain of Custody) certification which guarantees that the company is perfectly placed to buy, stock and sell products with a specified FSC® certificate, originating from sustainably managed forests, controlled sources, and reclaimed materials, or a mixture of these.
Since the beginning, Ethnicraft chose to establish strong, long-term partnerships with its suppliers. Human commitment is just as important as the quality of the products. We pay great attention to working conditions, which is why our various production sites are regularly audited to ensure compliance with labour law, human rights and ethical social and environmental conduct. We believe in diversity, and we place great importance on gender equality in our offices and production facilities.
More on Copeland: With more than 1,000,000 kWh of solar production and 3,500,000 BTUs of bio-mass heat generation capacity, we generate 95% of our own energy, onsite. Based on figures provided by the EPA’s eGRID, their two solar installations offset over 1.5 million pounds of CO2 emissions annually.
Copeland is the recipient of the Sage Award for environmental excellence
Sponsored by the American Home Furnishings Alliance (AHFA), the award program was launched to recognize environmental accomplishments within the home furnishings industry. For more information go to www.sageaward.org
