What environmental sustainability practices are followed in the manufacturing of the Landscape Round Table?

The manufacturing of the Landscape Round Table is guided by a deep commitment to environmental sustainability, integrating eco-conscious practices at every stage of production. This begins with material sourcing, where primary components are derived from recycled aluminum, significantly reducing the environmental impact associated with virgin material extraction. The aluminum is processed in facilities powered by renewable energy sources, minimizing the carbon footprint from the initial forming of the table's structure.

A key practice is the use of advanced, low-VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) powder coatings for all surface finishes. Unlike traditional liquid paints that can release harmful solvents, these powder coatings are applied electrostatically and cured with heat, creating a durable, weather-resistant layer without emitting toxic pollutants into the air or water systems. This process also boasts high transfer efficiency, meaning nearly all the coating material adheres to the product, drastically reducing waste.

Furthermore, the manufacturing process is designed for circularity. Water used in pre-treatment and cooling is treated and recycled within the facility, conserving a vital resource. Production scraps and off-cuts from the aluminum are systematically collected and sent back to the supply chain to be remelted and repurposed for new products, embodying a zero-waste-to-landfill philosophy for metal components. The final design of the table itself prioritizes longevity and end-of-life considerations. Its robust construction ensures a long lifespan, reducing the frequency of replacement, and its modular design allows for easy disassembly, facilitating repair, refurbishment, or material separation for recycling. Through these integrated practices—from recycled materials and clean coatings to energy efficiency and waste reduction—the Landscape Round Table is manufactured not just for aesthetic appeal but for a minimal and responsible environmental footprint.
