Looking for furniture companies that share your love for the environment?

Eco-friendly furniture makers pay close attention to two things: the materials they use and the working conditions behind them. Below are ten companies putting that into practice, in no particular order.

At La-Z-Boy, we’re one of them. We turn recycled water bottles into Conserve™ sustainable fabric to keep plastic out of landfills and oceans. It’s just as soft, durable, and comfortable as conventional upholstery, and it comes in a wide range of patterns and colors — plus it’s available with iClean technology to help resist stains.

Picture this: it’s 2018 — the most recent year the EPA has measured this — and Americans are generating 12.1 million tons of furniture waste. About 9.7 million tons of that heads straight to a landfill. Every. Single. Year.

The kicker? Less than half of one percent gets recycled. Almost everything else just stays there.

If that statistic surprises you, you’re not alone. But understanding where all this furniture waste comes from is the first step toward making better choices. And the good news? There’s a solution that’s gaining momentum: sustainable furniture.
