My assistant Megan has taken our Eco Practices to a whole new level. Two years ago we committed ourselves to find solutions to the challenges of creating eco-conscious furniture, without sacrificing the beauty and quality of what constitutes a fine family heirloom. And in addition to committing all of our manufacturing to support our National Economy (our entire line is hand-crafted in Los Angeles), Megan thought that it certainly couldn't hurt to ride her skateboard to work a few days a week. But don't worry...her Jimmy Choos are in her backpack.
The majority of the woods we purchase are sustainable (wood from trees that have been planted specifically for creation in the use of wood based products) and are certified by the Forest Stewardship Committee.
Our upholstery fill options consist of Natural Goose Down & Feathers that are thoroughly cleaned with non-toxic substances. We also offer 100% Natural Foam Latex Cores (rubber tree by-products), and frame padding made from 100% unbleached cotton. We use OSHA approved Dacron for all upholstery padding.
Our upholstery springs are made from steel, which because of its strength lessens the environmental effects of their production. Since metals can be recycled indefinitely without losing any of their properties, most of the metals today are recyclable.
All PLUSH HOME upholstery ingredients(foam core, casings, webbing, etc..) are all made in California under strict Californian legislation. We do not import these items from countries whose manufacturing and management practices may be ecologically or morally questionable.
Since our furniture is hand-crafted individually, there is little to no waste in our production process. We do not stock large inventories, and our efficient manufacturing process was formulated to reduce our impact on the environment in terms of materials used.
