SUSTAINABLE OUTDOOR FURNITURE

Millwest Amish Furniture: Sustainable Outdoor Furniture and Eco-Friendly Practices

As the world continues to grapple with the challenges of climate change, sustainable practices in the building and furniture industries are more crucial than ever. Tangent has been at the forefront of this movement, leading the charge in creating sustainable outdoor furniture materials through their innovative recycled plastic lumber, known as poly lumber. Millwest Amish Furniture is proud to offer furniture crafted from Tangent’s eco-friendly materials, providing customers with outdoor furnishings that are both beautiful and environmentally responsible.

Tangent’s Achievements and Partnering Brands

Tangent’s commitment to sustainability is reflected in its use of post-consumer and post-industrial recycled materials in their poly lumber products. By diverting plastics from landfills and giving them a second life, Tangent helps reduce plastic waste and contribute to the recovery of millions of plastic bottles annually. The company’s advanced, environmentally friendly manufacturing processes ensure that their products meet rigorous LEED standards, minimizing waste and greenhouse gas emissions.

Berlin Gardens and Levi’s Leisure, two trusted brands carried by Millwest Amish Furniture, proudly use Tangent’s poly lumber for their outdoor furniture. This collaboration supports the creation of durable, sustainable furniture pieces while minimizing environmental impact. Millwest is pleased to offer these fine products to customers who care about the planet and seek beautifully crafted outdoor furniture made with eco-friendly materials.

Commitment to Sustainability

By choosing Tangent’s recycled plastic lumber, Berlin Gardens and Levi’s Leisure are able to create high-quality outdoor furniture that supports a healthier planet. Unlike traditional wood, which often requires harmful chemical treatments, Tangent’s poly lumber is free of toxic substances, offering a safer alternative for both the environment and human health. This sustainable material also helps reduce the need for tree harvesting, protecting natural habitats and biodiversity.

Waste Reduction and Closed-Loop Recycling

Tangent has established a collaborative system with key customers, where plastic scrap generated during the fabrication processes is returned to Tangent for reuse and recycling. This material is then reintegrated into the production cycle to create the same or similar products. The system, which exemplifies a true closed-loop lifecycle, minimizes waste by ensuring that post-consumer and post-industrial plastic scrap is continuously recycled and repurposed. GreenCircle has audited and certified this take-back program, awarding Tangent with a prestigious Closed-Loop Product Certification, which ensures that their recycling practices meet rigorous standards of transparency and effectiveness.

Tangent’s closed-loop recycling system begins with collecting plastic waste from customers and partners, which is then cleaned, sorted, and transformed into new poly lumber products. By recycling materials back into the production cycle, Tangent not only reduces the demand for new raw materials but also conserves valuable resources and significantly reduces landfill waste. This process is more energy-efficient than producing virgin plastic, thus minimizing the overall environmental impact of their operations.

Tangent’s commitment to sustainability is further demonstrated through its partnerships with companies like Berlin Gardens and Levi’s Leisure, who use Tangent’s recycled poly lumber to create high-quality, eco-friendly outdoor furniture. This approach exemplifies a circular economy, where products and materials are reused, refurbished, and recycled, ensuring minimal waste at the end of life. Through this process, Tangent extends the lifecycle of its materials, ensuring that poly lumber remains durable, recyclable, and has a reduced environmental footprint.

GreenCircle Certified, LLC independently verifies Tangent’s closed-loop practices, providing assurance that the company’s efforts to close the loop on plastic materials are both effective and sustainable. Customers who choose Tangent’s products directly contribute to this circular economy, playing a part in reducing plastic waste and supporting a more sustainable future.

Promoting Deforestation-Free Construction

One of the most significant environmental benefits of Tangent’s materials is the reduction in deforestation. By using recycled plastic lumber instead of traditional wood, Tangent eliminates the need for tree cutting, helping to preserve forests, protect wildlife habitats, and maintain the balance of our ecosystems. This eco-friendly approach supports Millwest’s commitment to sustainable practices and environmental stewardship.

LEED Certification and GreenCircle Audits

Tangent is committed to transparency in its environmental practices, which is reflected in its partnerships with third-party organizations like GreenCircle Certified, LLC. Their Recycled Content Certification and Closed-Loop Product Certification ensure that Tangent’s products meet high sustainability standards, enabling Berlin Gardens and Levi’s Leisure to confidently offer their customers outdoor furniture that aligns with the principles of green building and LEED certification.

These certifications provide clear evidence that Tangent’s processes and materials support the highest levels of environmental responsibility. By Ensuring that plastic waste is continuously recycled and repurposed into new products, Tangent demonstrates a commitment to the circular economy and a reduction in plastic waste. The third-party audits also allow customers to trust that the products they purchase from Berlin Gardens and Levi’s Leisure are not only durable but also manufactured in an environmentally responsible manner. As more companies and consumers prioritize sustainability, Tangent’s certifications help businesses like Berlin Gardens and Levi’s Leisure maintain their leadership in the green construction and furniture markets.
