Did you know that on average, a staggering 12 million tons of furniture ends up in landfills every year? This alarming statistic, provided by the EPA, has seen a 450% increase from the 2.2 million tons recorded in 1960. Factors such as frequent moves, the prevalence of cheap furniture, and the habit of leaving items on the curb contribute significantly to this waste crisis.

What's even more concerning is that out of these 12 million tons, a whopping 9 million tons consist of recyclable materials like glass, fabric, metal, and leather. Sadly, instead of being properly recycled, they meet their fate in landfills, further burdening our environment. And let's not forget about items like rugs, which added an additional 3.4 million tons of waste to landfills in 2017 alone.

But there's hope — by adopting sustainable practices such as renting furniture, we can actively reduce our carbon footprint and mitigate the release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Did you know that new furniture releases the highest concentration of VOCs in its first year of life? Renting not only helps curb waste but also promotes healthier indoor air quality. Let's work together to make a difference. Join us in our efforts to reshape the future of furniture consumption and create a more sustainable world for generations to come. 🌍💚
