Businesses are seeking more ways to reduce their environmental impact, and sustainable furniture can play a big role in achieving this. Chairs, desks and storage in an office can amount to hundreds of kilograms of CO2 emissions, as well as accounting for a significant amount of landfill when being disposed of. Choosing eco-friendly furniture brands can significantly reduce a business’ carbon footprint as well as their overall environmental impact. So, what are the most environmentally friendly office furniture brands?
