Our Green Statement:

 

   We all know the facts: everything we do has an impact on the environment. This is why action is needed to preserve and maintain our world. Our environment will flourish or falter depending on the choices businesses, as well as consumers, make This is why Tupelo Manufacturing is committed to making sustainable furniture and creating a Green working environment. Our goal is to be in harmony with the world around us so we can help the world thrive.

 

What Makes Us Green:

 

   You will never see our products in a landfill a year after being made. Why? Because Tupelo Manufacturing prides itself on creating USA made furniture that is built for a long life span. Long life spans mean less landfill waste.

 

   What does this mean for you? It means buying the most sustainable and eco-friendly furniture on the market.

 

   In order to save energy, employees work 4 ten hour days. This saves up to 20% of gas usage and greatly reduces emissions. Car pooling is encouraged and used.

 

   Our lumber is from American companies that recognize the importance of our environment. The companies promote natural regeneration as well as replanting 500,000 to 1,500,000 seedlings each year. In fact, our major supplier has USDA verification of sustainability.

 

   The finishing products we use are all non-hazardous and are HAPS compliant. Our glues are water-based.

 

   To lessen energy consumption by reducing electrical demand, we use the latest technology from Ingersoll Rand.

 

   Recycling is assured at Tupelo Manufacturing. Our wood scraps are recycled through a program with Norbord. Cardboard is recycled and our foam supplier has 0% of its by products going to landfills. Scrap foam is returned for carpet underlay or shredded for use in other goods.

 

   Personnel recycle cans and paper, among other things, in order to reduce landfill waste.

 

   Our fabric suppliers are all aware of the need to preserve the environment. Recycling,reusing scrap materials, increasing energy efficiency by exploring alternate energy sources,having fabric made from metal free fibers, natural compostable fibers, and PVC free fibers are just a few ways that these suppliers are working to reduce environmental impact.

 

   Tupelo Manufacturing will certainly take advantage of any opportunities that arise to promote a green workplace. Our commitment is a journey to a sustainable design and a healthy environment.
