Sustainability and Environmental Impact
At EMOTIONAL BRANDS, we are committed to honoring all forms of life.
That commitment drives us to create a better world, beginning with the choices we make in our design and manufacturing practices.
Sustainable furniture is becoming increasingly important in the hospitality industry.
It isn’t just good for the planet-it’s a strategic investment in brand equity and operational efficiency.
With several companies adopting eco-friendly practices. Elevate your project with furniture that meets today’s environmental standards,
without compromising on style, durability, or guest experience and satisfaction.
Sustainability is no longer a trend; it’s a procurement imperative. As eco-conscious travelers demand transparency and responsibility, hotels must respond with furniture that reflects environmental stewardship and operational excellence. At Emotional Brands, we’re passionate about manufacturing eco-friendly furniture that meets your hospitality décor needs. Not only do we produce eco-friendly furniture for our clients, but we also use sustainable methods throughout all our in-house operations.
What Makes Furniture Truly Sustainable
Not all “green” furniture is created equal. Key attributes include:
• Certified Materials: FSC-certified wood, recycled metals, low-VOC finishes.
• Ethical Manufacturing: Fair labor practices and reduced carbon footprints.
• Lifecycle Transparency: Products designed for longevity, repairability, and end-of-life recycling.
As a recognized supplier of sustainable furniture, the adhesives, stains, and polishes that we use minimize harmful emissions, and whenever possible,
we make an effort to apply water-based finishes for a safer, more eco-friendly approach.
Emotional Brands pre-qualifies its supply chain to source materials responsibly. When required, our suppliers provide
Chain of Custody certification to confirm the authenticity of forest origins.
Whether you are sourcing sustainable chairs, dining tables, or sofas, our collections help improve the environmental credentials of your project.
Eco-Friendly Packaging
Sustainability extends to our packaging. We use durable, recyclable wood derivatives and cardboard cartons.
Whenever feasible, we recover and return wooden boxes and cartons to our facilities for reuse, reducing waste across our logistics chain.
