Low Carbon Footprint
As mentioned in our previous post, all of Birchwood Furniture’s products are made at the company’s Calgary factory. They believe in supplying reliable locally made products as a part of their commitment to being environmentally conscious. Because of the minimal amount of shipping involved in their logistics, they have succeeded in lowering their carbon footprint.
In addition to this, Birchwood Furniture uses lumber from Golden, B.C. and prefers to use Canadian material manufacturers when ever possible. They ship materials and product mainly locally between Alberta, B.C., Saskatchewan and Manitoba as most of their suppliers and retailers are within Western Canada.
Waste Not – Upcycle!
The last part of Birchwood Furniture’s eco-story has to do with fabrication. Their production line includes many processes that reduce waste. They strive to use the best quality and most effective environmentally friendly materials. As an example, all of the foam used in their furniture is soy based.
Most notably, they use a Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine to cut hardwood forms to build their furniture frames. Factory engineers make sure to piece as many template parts from orders together as possible to use up every square inch of material. Due to the high level of precision of this machine, virtually all that is left of the wood is dust. Nothing goes to waste here. They also use similar technology to cut their foam, fabrics and leathers.
In addition to using state of the art technology, Birchwood Furniture continues it’s green initiatives by upcycling all leftovers from their foam and leather cuts. These scraps get repurposed and resold in the form of carpet underlay and bonded leather.
We hope this has helped you understand more about our top selling upholster – Birchwood Furniture. This just goes to show that making the right choice when buying furniture can provide you years of enjoyment and help the environment!
