CO2 NEGATIVE FURNITURE
Buy furniture that keeps carbon dioxide out of the air.
Leading the furniture industry in sustainability, we at Pollima have designed our furniture pieces to inspire a paradigm shift away from the antiquated, carbon dioxide-producing methods of manufacturing. We’re on a mission to create and design in a way that mimics the natural, regenerative processes of our planet earth.
How can furniture be CO2 negative?
1. Collect Byproduct
Where some people see byproduct that should be sent to landfill or be burned, we see a material that can create beauty. By keeping the byproduct from anaerobically digesting or being burned, we are keeping greenhouse emissions from entering the atmosphere. Whether its hemp, cannabis, or other plant left-overs, we can use it, rather than forest products.
2. Add Pressure
Once we have the hemp stalk, we use a hydraulic press to create the material for the tabletop. This material is holding carbon-dioxiode from the air and if it decomposes or is burned, it would release that carbon into the air. And all our material is made with renewable energy.
3. Preserve Forests
Now we have a material stronger than wood that doesn’t require killing any trees. We add the legs and tah-dah! A CO2-negative table made from California agricultural byproduct. For shipment, the legs are flat packed into a box and carbon offsets are purchased to cover transportation.
What impact will your actions have on the planet?
Carbon-dioxide pollution is at an all time high. Everything that we do and buy will have a carbon footprint. Every step of production, from mining the raw materials, to production, to distribution, to the use of it, to how you dispose of it all counts towards the carbon footprint. Pollima is proud to be producing a negative footprint.
CO2 stays in our atmosphere and traps more of the sun’s heat, disrupting weather patterns and increasing the global temperature. We are on track to raise our global temperature by 4 degrees celsius, while to avoid the worst of climate change, we must keep the rise below 2 degrees.
