Affordable Design Solutions is committed to sustainable practices in the furniture industry. Companies often use terms like “green,” “eco-friendly,” “environmentally safe,” and “sustainable,” when advertising their products. Did you know that none of these terms have any consensual definitions at present? Such ambiguity coupled with a growing need and demand for such products makes the work of SFC vital in developing solid standards and certification processes within the home furnishings industry. Look to us for clarification and resources. The SFC is the #1 organization in green furnishings, a non-profit balanced coalition of suppliers, manufacturers, retailers, and designers formed to promote sustainable practices with the best networking and education in our industry.
