Sustainable Living Fabrics (Collection)

November 21st, 2008

All fabrics have the GECA Ecolabel and are carbon neutral from the sheep to the fabric supplied for the furniture. The company’s carbon offset last year was equivalent to taking almost 2000 cars off the road but significant changes in their production chain have achieved an outstanding 43% reduction in greenhouse emissions so that, this year, their offset will be almost halved.

Sustainable Living Fabrics was a finalist in the fiercely contested Banksia Awards 2006 Eco-Innovation Category for their Green Living Collection.
