In today's world, where environmental consciousness is gaining momentum, it's essential to consider the carbon impact of our purchasing decisions. One product that often goes unnoticed in terms of its carbon footprint is the sofa. However, by opting for a sustainable alternative like Morii Designs, you can make a significant difference. In this blog post, we will explore the carbon impact of creating a sofa, highlight the benefits of purchasing a sofa from Morii Designs, and understand how we offset carbon emissions through planting trees and our use of sustainable FSC hardwood frames.

The Carbon Impact of Crafting a Sofa

Many people are unaware of the carbon emissions associated with the manufacturing process of a sofa. On average, creating a single sofa can emit around 90 kilograms of CO2 into the atmosphere. The production of raw materials, transportation, energy consumption during manufacturing, and waste management all contribute to this carbon footprint. Recognising this impact is crucial in making informed decisions when purchasing sustainable furniture.

Morii Designs: A Sustainable Choice

At Morii Designs we believe we should go above and beyond expectations to address the carbon footprint of our products. By purchasing a sofa from Morii Designs, you are making a conscious choice to support sustainability, reduce your environmental impact and become climate positive. Here are two key reasons why Morii Designs stands out:

a) Carbon Offset Through Tree Planting:
For every purchase made from Morii Designs, we plant 50 trees as part of our carbon offset initiative. Trees are nature's solution to combatting climate change as they absorb CO2 and release oxygen. By planting 50 trees, Morii Designs effectively offsets around 1 tonne of CO2, making a significant positive impact on the environment.

b) FSC Hardwood for Sustainable Frames:
Morii Designs demonstrates our commitment to sustainability by using only FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) hardwood for each sofa frame. The FSC certification ensures that the wood used comes from responsibly managed forests. By choosing furniture made from FSC hardwood, you support the conservation of forests, protection of biodiversity, and the livelihoods of local communities.
