The main objective of implementing sustainability in furniture is to achieve optimal results that generate a benefit action in the environment. Designers consider different aspects when designing and creating; some of these can be:
- Use and creation of furniture with recycled materials.
- Use of removable and recyclable products.
- Specific pieces with a long lifetime and usefulness.
The use of recycled materials for manufacturing is only one reason why it is important to use sustainable furniture, there are several factors that make this furniture is very useful and beneficial to the environment.
Why is it important to acquire sustainable furniture for your company?
Companies regularly do not take into account the benefits that can be achieved by purchasing furniture with sustainable trends, since they consider that chairs, desks and everything that is in the workspace, will be useful only within the office.
However, sustainable furniture gives the user endless opportunities to exploit the functionality of each and every one of its features, making them a useful tool to achieve optimum comfort within the space.
Another factor to take into account, are the profits that the company can have when putting into operation ecological furniture, which in turn have well-rooted ergonomic functions. These give the user comfort, and help him to have a more remarkable productivity.
When looking for the furniture we want, we must take into account the useful life, quality and, without a doubt, the right price.

Large companies have conducted research to detect chemicals that can be harmful to the environment and people. Chemicals that damage the environment in small or large ways have been identified.
Organizations such as the Center for Interactive Research on Sustainability (CIRS) located on the campus of the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, offer proposals to help the environment regenerate resources and create increasingly sustainable products .
The World Green Building Council (WGBC) is another global organization destined to generate a change in the way of designing and building around the world, always from a sustainable and ecological point of view.
