When furnishing your home, you’re not just choosing how your space looks—you’re deciding how it feels. At Proferlo, we believe that sustainable furniture isn’t just better for the planet—it’s better for you. From reduced chemical exposure to improved indoor air quality, the benefits of eco-friendly furniture in New Zealand go far beyond aesthetics.
🌿 What Is Eco-Friendly Furniture?
Eco-friendly furniture is made using sustainable materials, ethical production processes, and low-toxicity finishes. Unlike mass-produced, chemically treated pieces, sustainable furniture prioritises your health and the planet’s wellbeing.
At Proferlo, we source from FSC®-certified forests, ensure zero formaldehyde release, and meet global standards like ISO 14001 and CARB Phase 2 compliance—so you can make responsible choices without sacrificing style.
🏡 Why Sustainable Furniture Supports Healthy Living
Indoor air quality is one of the most overlooked factors in our daily health. Many traditional furniture items release volatile organic compounds (VOCs)—including formaldehyde—into the air through a process called off-gassing. These chemicals are commonly found in adhesives, particleboard, and finishes.
Health risks associated with formaldehyde exposure:
-
Eye, nose, and throat irritation
-
Headaches and fatigue
-
Asthma aggravation
-
Long-term exposure may increase cancer risk (World Health Organization)
❌ Proferlo = Zero Formaldehyde Release
At Proferlo, we take your health seriously. Our furniture is CARB Phase 2 compliant, and we go one step further—certifying zero formaldehyde release in our core product lines. That means you can feel confident placing our products in your home, around children, pets, and anyone with sensitivities.
Our use of non-toxic, water-based finishes and natural materials like solid wood and eco-laminates ensures that every Proferlo piece supports a healthy, breathable indoor environment.
