20
years ago purchasing sustainable baby furniture meant buying boutique-style
handmade pieces. Now you can get furniture that is factory-made and
still has a low carbon footprint. Companies are addressing environmental
concerns and providing solutions for the long term.
When it comes to the factory used for making sustainable baby furniture
even that has to be green. Production waste has always been a concern.
Companies are now trying to create minimal and/or no waste from their
products and also recycle excess wood or use it as fuel to heat the
factory.
When it comes to sustainable baby furniture destructive forestry practices
are being eliminated at some companies. Look for FSC certification to
make sure there was no deforestation where the timber was harvested.
Companies know they are marketing baby products for parents who have
a concern about conspicuous consumption and what it means to the next
generation and so sustainable baby products should be a growing market.
