BUY RITE'S IMPACT

We take pride in supplying furniture that works with the environment. We strive to help all kinds of businesses by providing them with ethically sourced furniture. Internally, we re-use and recycle all that we can and we offer used furniture as a means to promote the re-use of furniture, and to minimize the production of new furniture when possible. We only work with furniture companies that comply with widely recognized environmentally conscious standards. We work closely with Canadian-based, Global Furniture Group and Heartwood Manufacturers. By offering furniture that is made locally, we can reduce the total amount of greenhouse gas emissions caused by the transportation of furniture. Both Global and Heartwood have taken many initiatives to assure that they reduce their ecological footprint as well as provide a product that is ecologically sound. 

Old growth trees are excluded in the manufacturing of all of the furniture that we supply!

HEARTWOOD MANUFACTURING

Heartwood started up with a love for nature and their name is proof of this. Heartwood is located in beautiful British Columbia, making the shipping distance to Vancouver require less energy from transportation. Heartwood only sources their materials from companies that abide to stringent environmental certifications and standards. All of the wood used in their furniture is collected from either tree farms or from by-product at wood mills that have a strong zero tolerance policy for old growth trees. They have been able to reduce their use of Styrofoam by 95% by introducing a recyclable honeycomb cardboard. Recently, Heartwood has been utilizing Eco Dry Systems in their wood chip drying process to control HAPs and VOCs and prevent them from causing harm to our environment. They have also adapted the use of closed loop hot oil exchange as a means to reduce the amount of energy required in production. Another way Heartwood is innovating is by utilizing an advanced waste treatment by using water-based amino acids to assure that all water leaving their plant is clean and healthy for the environment. Teaming up with the California Air Resources Board (CARB), an air emissions standard equivalent to Greenguard, they have introduced dust filtered bag systems to their plant, minimizing the amount of harmful emissions that are released into our air, and maintaining a healthy work environment. Overall, Heartwood is setting examples and continually growing in their quest to improve their impact on the environment.
