In today’s world, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a responsibility. At Backyard Resin, we’re proud to combine high-quality craftsmanship with eco-conscious practices to create custom furniture that not only enhances your space but also supports a healthier planet. Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do, from the materials we select to the processes we follow, and our goal is to make sure that each piece we create has a positive impact on the environment.
By choosing sustainable custom furniture, you can enjoy unique, beautiful pieces while also making a conscious decision to support environmental well-being. Let’s take a closer look at what makes our furniture so sustainable and how you can incorporate eco-friendly choices into your own home or office.
What Makes Furniture Sustainable?
Sustainable custom furniture is more than just a trend—it’s about considering the entire lifecycle of the piece, from sourcing materials to its eventual end-of-life. Here are the key elements that contribute to sustainable furniture:
-
Locally Sourced Materials: One of the easiest ways to reduce the environmental impact of furniture production is by sourcing materials locally. At Backyard Resin, we prioritize working with local suppliers for both wood and epoxy materials. By using wood from nearby forests, we minimize transportation emissions, reducing our carbon footprint. Locally sourced materials also help support the local economy and ensure that the wood used in our furniture is ethically harvested.
-
Sustainable Wood Sourcing: The wood we use for our custom furniture is responsibly sourced, meaning that it comes from forests managed with sustainability in mind. Many of our pieces are made from wood that is certified by organizations such as the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), which ensures that the wood is harvested in a way that promotes forest regeneration, biodiversity, and healthy ecosystems. This guarantees that the wood used in your furniture is contributing to a sustainable future.
-
Epoxy Resin Choices: Epoxy resin, while not inherently biodegradable, can still be a more sustainable choice than other finishes or materials, especially when it’s used in small quantities and for specific design purposes. We use premium, low-VOC (volatile organic compounds) epoxy resins, which help reduce harmful emissions and improve indoor air quality. This makes our tables, desks, and other furniture pieces not only beautiful but also safer for your home or business.
-
Durability and Longevity: One of the most sustainable aspects of custom furniture is its durability. Unlike mass-produced furniture that may fall apart or wear out quickly, custom pieces are built to last. Our handcrafted wood and epoxy furniture is designed to withstand the test of time, so you won’t need to replace your furniture as often. This reduces waste and helps keep furniture out of landfills. With proper care, our custom pieces can be enjoyed for generations.
-
Minimizing Waste: We take care to minimize waste throughout the furniture-making process. For example, leftover wood from one project can often be used for another, and we carefully manage resin pours to ensure that excess material doesn’t go to waste. We also aim to recycle and repurpose any materials that are not usable in our pieces, ensuring that we’re doing our part to reduce overall waste.
Why Choose Sustainable Custom Furniture?
When you choose sustainable custom furniture from Backyard Resin, you're not only investing in a high-quality, unique piece, but you're also making an eco-conscious decision that benefits the planet. Here are just a few reasons why sustainable custom furniture is the right choice:
-

-
Long-Term Savings: High-quality, durable furniture lasts longer, which means you won’t need to replace it as frequently. Not only does this save you money in the long run, but it also reduces the need for constant manufacturing and shipping, further reducing the environmental impact of your purchases.
-
