Just like eco fashion, using eco-furniture for the home or office is fast becoming a popular choice among consumers. Read my five reasons why you should invest into eco-furniture! 1. Natural or recycled materials. Eco-furniture is made of natural materials or recycled products and other materials that did not go a chemical process, like unbleached wool. These are derived from plants like bamboo and woods that are sustainable. 2. Easily degradable. Some eco-furniture or home items are degradable after many uses, such as a mattress or pillow. You wouldn’t have to worry about disposing this, when the time comes and a replacement is needed. 3. Home free of chemicals. Using eco stuff is one way of detoxifying your home and getting rid of items that are harmful to your family members and to the environment as a whole. For instance, changing into an organic bed or using organic bedding can help relieve one of allergies and other conditions that can be triggered when someone has sensitive condition. 4. Good for your health. Going organic also helps families with babies, as other furniture and items for the home are infused with pesticides that can be deadly and detrimental to health. 5. Handmade and locally sourced. Many eco-furniture cost more than regular furniture. This is because the craftmanship and the process to create this is really specialized. However, there are a few pieces that are more mid-range, if you look around enough. Investing is a lot more beneficial in the long run, as you can reap more benefits from this, health wise. Thus, it’s worth spending on and is actually practical and environmentally sound.
