Does the production of teak furniture hurt the environment?
Unlike metal or plastic, teakwood is a renewable resource. Teak furniture’s ability to last for decades even centuries makes it environmentally friendly in comparison to other man made furnishings that eventually end up in a landfill. We use only teak from plantations in Indonesia that are supervised by a division of the state forest ministry. This ensures that the resource is managed in a sustainable manner and the forests of Indonesia are preserved for future generations. It is interesting to note that as a result of the efforts of the Indonesian Government, more teak is growing today than 100 years ago.
