The Rise of Fast Furniture and Its Impact
The surge in disposable "fast furniture" from popular retailers has resulted in an alarming increase in waste, with millions of tons of furniture ending up in landfills every year. These items, constructed from valuable resources like wood, metal, and fabric, have significant untapped potential for reuse.
Donating Furniture for a Sustainable Future
In celebration of Earth Month, we collaborated with Sabai in New York City to collect furniture slated for the landfill and donate it to local charities, like Out of the Closet BK. This not only diverts furniture from landfills but also supports community well-being.
