Here at Funky Chunky Furniture we try are best to reduce any waste within our manufacturing processes.
All our sawdust is re-used. Making solid wood furniture and shelves from timbers does create sawdust. All our sawdust is collected through extraction units, We generate, approximately, twelve bags of sawdust each week, amounting to 12,000 litres. It’s then packaged up and distributed to local stables where it is used as bedding for horses, among other re-uses.
Through both the design and manufacture processes we ensure that our wood waste is kept to an absolute minimum. All our off-cuts are either reused for our smaller products, or are used as fuel in our clean-fuel furnace to heat the workshop.
Any cardboard packaging we receive deliveries in gets re-used on site. We have purchased a cardboard shredder that creates a packing material that we now use to wrap and pack our smaller items, such as our Home Accessories range, ready for dispatch.
Reducing waste is a continuous journey — and we’re proud of the steps we’ve taken so far. At Funky Chunky Furniture, every decision we make is with craftsmanship, sustainability, and responsibility in mind. Together with our customers, we’re building not just beautiful homes, but a better future for the planet.
