As the most used raw material in our products, we take great care in responsibly sourcing natural timber that is ethically harvested.

SUSTAINABLY SOURCED WOOD

As the most used raw material in our products, we take great care in responsibly sourcing natural timber that is ethically harvested. All the wood used in our products is harvested in regions that do not allow clear-cutting, a forestry practice that can have a negative environmental impact. We proudly work with supply partners that are formally recognized by professional organizations for following sustainable and ethical harvesting practices.

We use a variety of eco-friendly materials in our products, doing our part in extending the life of old fabrics and repurposing them into something new.

RECYCLED FABRIC, PLASTIC & PET

We use a variety of eco-friendly materials in our products, doing our part in extending the life of old fabrics and repurposing them into something new. A selection of our fabrics is woven with a minimum of 39% recycled polyester. High-density polyethylene (HDPE) made partially from recycled plastic is used in select pieces from the Outdoor by SUNPAN collection. In addition, we also use PET yarn in select rugs, a material that is derived from recycled water bottles.

We use eco-friendly packaging for our products where possible. We endeavor to use less packaging in our products.

LESS PACKAGING

Besides this, our cartons are 100% recyclable. We closely work with our suppliers to ensure that the packaging is locally sourced and uses materials that are good for the environment.
