Why It Is So Green!
A Planet-Friendly Alternative To IKEA
Playatech slotted plywood furniture is environmentally conscious compared to conventional commercial furniture, for five reasons.
95–99% by weight is renewable wood, and we strive to buy ply from US forests FSC-certified as sustainably managed. The glue is a polymer called phenol-formaldehyde — which sounds alarming, but reports indicate it is less toxic than the wood itself, and it isn’t listed under Prop 65.
Packaging waste is less than 0.01% — the straps securing wood to pallets during distribution.
When a Playatech owner moves or travels, the furniture collapses back into 4′×8′ sheets like puzzles, so an entire apartment’s furniture moves in one mini-van load. Less time, less fuel, no movers.
When it’s no longer useful, nearly the entire energy content can be recovered as heat if burned in a proper furnace, without significant pollution — the sawdust can even power automobiles. Burned on an open fire, the wood puts out more noxious fumes than the glue does.
By enabling everyone to build our ploducts themselves, we eliminate factories, media advertising, end-product distribution, retail waste, exploited third-world labour, and pretty much every bad thing consumerism introduces between nature’s product and our end use. If only sawmills still ran on water wheels, and plywood glue was still made of animal proteins…
The greenest furniture money can't buy
Useful green furniture for a mobile lifestyle that will never see a landfill, at an unbelievable price. We think that’s cool — and it’s no Silicon Valley pipedream.
