Over 50% of usable furniture gets sent to landfills Every. Single. Year. That piles up to over 110,000 tons. That’s not even counting the ones that are damaged beyond repair.
Now, with upcycling, not only do you save furniture from being thrown away, but you also prove to others that there’s a third option.
Think of it this way: If every home you knew had an upcycled piece, then we wouldn’t be throwing out perfectly good furniture!
That way, we can bring greenhouse gases down, consume less fossil fuels to process scrapped furniture, and keep the industry’s carbon footprint down to a minimum.
