Millions of tons of furniture end up in landfills each year. That’s like throwing away entire forests, piece by piece. It’s not just about losing a chair or a table; it’s about losing the resources, energy, and time that went into making that piece. When we discard furniture, we’re also tossing away the craftsmanship and heritage embodied in it.
Let’s not forget the methane – a potent greenhouse gas – that decomposing wood products release. Methane has more than 25 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide over 100 years, which means the methane from landfills significantly accelerates the rate of climate change. The impact of this greenhouse gas on our lives is profound, affecting everything from the climate patterns our ecosystem depends on to the air quality in our cities.
