What is furniture made from recycled materials?

Furniture made from recycled materials is furniture that has been manufactured sustainably, reusing materials that have already been used once, but which can be partially or completely transformed to build or form part of pieces or objects for use in different environments.

These materials that can be recycled include plastics, metal, glass and natural fibres. With these materials, we can give a wide range of objects a second life and use them to create new objects.

In the case of furniture, a large range of pieces can be made from recycled materials, such as tables and chairs of all sizes and designs, for example, even chests of drawers, wardrobes, shelving units, sofas, armchairs, benches, etc. Furniture made from recycled materials is an excellent alternative to meet the needs of any space, in addition to being the perfect alternative to contribute to caring for the planet and reducing pollution.

Additionally, the factories that produce furniture from recycled materials must comply with a series of manufacturing requirements and regulations to ensure that all stages of the manufacturing are environmentally-friendly.
