Frequently Asked Questions
Look for Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) for responsibly sourced wood, GREENGUARD Gold for low volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, and OEKO-TEX for non-toxic textiles.
Bamboo grows rapidly and requires no pesticides, making it highly sustainable. However, look for bamboo manufactured with non-toxic, formaldehyde-free adhesives. Solid wood is also highly sustainable if FSC-certified and finished with non-toxic oils.
Furniture made with pressed wood or toxic adhesives emits volatile organic compounds (VOCs) like formaldehyde into the air, causing headaches, dizziness, and long-term respiratory issues. VOC-free furniture protects indoor air quality.
