Ready-to-assemble furniture is becoming increasingly popular due to its affordability and convenience. This type of furniture is designed to be easily transported and stored, which makes it a great choice for those who move frequently or have limited space in their homes.

Here at The Little Green Door we want to offer affordable, stylist, sustainable furniture for your home that is beneficial for the environment and for you. Everyone is happy! One of the main benefits of ready-to-assemble furniture is that it has environmental benefits, as flatpack enables delivery companies to transport more products on their vehicles, maximizing the number of orders that they can deliver to the end consumer. This in turn reduces the carbon footprint of the furniture industry.

Buying sustainable products should not be a luxury that only a few can afford. We want the majority to have the opportunity to buy sustainable furniture.

One of the ways we do this is by working with partner factories that use sustainable raw materials. By choosing products from The Little Green Door Ltd. you can help protect the forests, as the materials used to produce our furniture come from responsibly managed FSC-certified forests. The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is a global non-profit organisation that works to promote environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable use of the world's forests.

We also recognize that sustainability is an ongoing process, and we constantly strive to improve our practices and reduce our environmental impact. Together, we can make a difference and build a better future for our planet.

FSC is an international organization that sets standards for responsible forest management and certification. It works to promote sustainable forestry practices, protect biodiversity, and support the rights of workers and local communities. By choosing FSC-certified products, consumers can be confident that they are supporting sustainable forest management and helping to protect the environment.

Socially beneficial forest management helps to ensure that local people and society as a whole benefit from the sustainable use of forest resources. By providing incentives for local people to sustain the forest resources and adhere to long-term management plans, the FSC helps to promote sustainable forest management practices that benefit both people and the environment.

Economically viable forest management means that forest operations are structured and managed to be sufficiently profitable, without generating financial profit at the expense of the forest resource, the ecosystem, or affected communities. The tension between the need to generate adequate financial returns and the principles of responsible forest operations can be reduced through efforts to market the full range of forest products and services for their best value.

We together with our suppliers prioritize buying raw materials with a high proportion of recycled material for the types of material where it makes sense, e.g. wood-based raw materials and components. At the same time, we strive to minimize the content of harmful substances in the raw materials, both for the sake of our end users, but also to increase the usability of the materials when the furniture is disposed of.

After use, a lot of our furniture can be disassembled, and if the infrastructure where you live allows it, the wood materials can be used again for new chipboards. Alternatively, it can be used in heat production at local heating plants. We are always considering the life cycle of our furniture and we are trying to ensure the best and most climate-friendly disposal or recycling after use.
