Second-hand decorations and furniture have received a considerable amount of attention from the Thai and global markets in recent years. This is driven by a trend of using environmentally friendly materials, efficient resource management, while the furniture industry itself is focusing on sustainable development more than before, to respond to the growing concern of consumers regarding the environment and quality of life.
Sustainability: Realizing Issues from Furniture Making
Ever since the start of the Industrial Revolution, our society has been accustomed to factories and mass production. The rapid consumption of raw materials and natural resources has created numerous long-term issues for the environment.
- Increasing Environmental Issues in the Present
Centuries of mass production have caused issues for our planet. One of the notable issues is climate change, which results from the emission of greenhouse gasses. It causes natural disasters such as the melting of polar ice caps, a rise in sea levels, and unnatural patterns of precipitation such as flash floods, hurricanes, or wildfires.
Another major problem is natural resource depletion which is an increasing issue due to massive industrialization in Asian countries such as China and India. This has led to further complications, including pollution, overgrowing landfills, wastage in water bodies, and the widespread PM2.5 dust particles across Thailand and other nations. - Environment Damage From Furniture Production
Furniture manufacturing can constitute the use of hazardous chemicals, with textures, sealants, and treatment methods emitting hydrocarbons even after being distributed from the factory. This is known as off-gassing, and it is hazardous to the health of humans and the state of our natural environment.
On top of that, a huge production of waste was generated as a result of production. This is truly alarming, especially non-biodegradable trash in the form of plastic packaging and toxic chemicals. - Sustainability Through Second-Hand Décor and Furniture
To cope with the present environmental dilemma, the idea of “sustainable furniture” was created using ecologically responsible materials and sustainable methods of reusing, recycling, and upcycling used furniture and items. Moreover, sustainable second-hand furniture might also be manufactured from conveniently recyclable sources. Bamboo, for instance, grows rapidly and easily, making it an excellent choice for a sustainable material.
The furniture industry is increasingly adopting sustainable practices, and consumers can contribute to this trend by choosing second-hand furniture and appliances from top hotels offered by reConcept. This not only provides consumers with quality products but also supports efforts to address environmental issues.
