Moving Towards Sustainability

Our sustainability journey started from our first day of business, when we committed to using only timber from managed forests that prevent deforestation. Being a bigger company today means we’re now able to do more.

In our next chapter, there’s a lot for us to be excited about - mainly, our new innovative materials that are cruelty-free and made with fewer chemicals.

Sustainable wood, since day one

European Timber Regulation standards
Managed plantation timber only
No timber from land reserves, rainforests, newly felled forests or woodland areas

Unlike other companies, we’ve been using sustainably sourced wood from the very beginning - since we launched in 2005. The timber we use comes from managed forests, which adheres to strict guidelines to prevent deforestation.

Faux leather that rivals the real thing

Feels as thick, comfy and soft as leather
No harmful solvents, using water-based manufacturing
Tested to 100,000 Martindale rub counts
No special cleaning or care required
Vegan and cruelty-free

We’ve developed our faux leather to have the same buttery softness and durability as real leather, without needing any special cleaning or care.

Fabrics made with recycled materials

Certified by the Global Recycle Standard (GRS)
Made with recycled plastics
Tested to withstand everyday use

Most furniture companies in the UK still rely on virgin plastics as a raw material, but new recycled plastics can be a better choice:

Durable and cost-effective
Reduce the need for more, new oil-based materials
Divert virgin plastics from landfills

Rethinking our product packaging

Fully recycled cartons
Removing all unnecessary plastics
Investing in plant-based alternatives like mycelium packaging

Our products are packed in cartons made from recyclable cardboard and with recycled plastic bags where possible. We’re also striving for alternative packaging methods to decrease our one-time use of packaging materials.

Being eco-conscious in our workplace

At Furniture And Choice, none of our waste goes to landfills. Our warehouses separate plastic and cardboard from our product packaging and send it to recycling centres. And in our offices, we separate cardboard, paper and aluminium for recycling, and send our waste to a local power station to use as fuel.
