Green
El Dorado Furniture is working hard to become a more efficient and eco-friendly company.
We call this ongoing initiative "Project ECO".
These are just some of the steps we're taking to help the environment.
On average, El Dorado Furniture annually recycles:
- 1.7 million lbs. of cardboard, equivalent to 12 million empty cereal boxes!
- 130,000 lbs. of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Styrofoam, equivalent to 26 million foam coffee cups!
- 120,000 lbs. of clean wood, equivalent to more than 38 million Popsicle® sticks!
- 68,000 lbs. of plastic, equivalent to more than 2 million empty water bottles!
- 31,200 lbs. of paper, equivalent to nearly 3 million sheets of printer paper!
Beyond Recycling
- El Dorado Furniture offers a wide variety of eco-friendly furniture ranging from bedrooms to dining sets. These pieces are made of organic and/or recycled materials and use water-based finishes that don't harm the earth's atmosphere. The manufacturing process for these pieces is also less harmful to the environment.
