“What is the use of a house if you haven’t got a tolerable planet to put it on?”
– Philosopher and naturalist Henry David Thoreau.
Modern furniture production heavily relies on natural resources, making it crucial for the industry to adopt sustainable practices. Using Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified wood is a key way to promote eco-friendliness and ethical responsibility in furniture manufacturing. HATIL, a Bangladeshi leading furniture brand, is committed to this approach while maintaining high-quality standards. As the country’s first furniture manufacturer to use FSC-certified wood in crafting furniture, HATIL took this timely initiative to source wood sustainably by safeguarding the environment from harm. Let’s look at the benefits of using FSC-certified wood for furniture.
Beneficial for the Environment
In the furniture industry, the manufacturer needs to source wood from responsibly managed forests that prioritize environmental conservation. In this regard, FSC certification guarantees the process and ensures woods are sourced responsibly. Also, it helps to protect biodiversity and ensure that the forest’s ecological balance remains intact. HATIL’s commitment to using FSC-certified wood is a way of its dedication to reducing its carbon footprint and promoting greener practices in the furniture industry.
Steps Towards Sustainability and Social Responsibility
Choosing FSC-certified wood not only supports environmental sustainability but also fosters social responsibility. FSC standards emphasize responsiveness to both the environment and local communities in all aspects. By adhering to fair labor practices and ethically sourcing materials, HATIL ensures that every piece of furniture contributes positively to both people and the planet.
HATIL’s wood seasoning process
In the furniture-making process wood seasoning is a crucial step. It helps to reduce the moisture content of the wood to make solid furniture out of it. This process prevents potential issues such as wood cracking and dimensional instability. Here HATIL uses advanced seasoning techniques and machinery to ensure the wood maintains its integrity and durability for long-lasting comfortable furniture products.
Bentwood and Cross-bonding of Plywood Technique
HATIL’s innovative construction techniques include bentwood technology and cross-bonding of plywood. Using the bentwood technique, HATIL produces elegant and ergonomic designs, while the advanced cross-bonding process enhances the strength and flexibility of plywood.
Durability
By combining FSC-certified wood with proper seasoning, using modern robotics, and following advanced techniques, HATIL creates highly durable furniture items. The company’s focus on durability ensures that its furniture offers long-lasting value and comfort. Additionally, HATIL strictly follows recycling processes and reduces environmental waste at every step of production.
HATIL’s dedication to sustainability is evident in its use of FSC-certified wood and modern machinery in manufacturing processes. By prioritizing the environment, HATIL maintains standards by using advanced techniques. Therefore, it is obvious that HATIL has set the benchmarks in the furniture industry for sustainability and a comfortable lifestyle.
