Silaos eco friendly street furniture
The Silaos range has been designed
specifically for minimal environmental
impact, where the whole life cycle of
the range, from creation to the end
of its life, is planned for through
the choice of materials and
packaging.
Raw materials and product life and recycling
- Steel is a 100% recyclable material
- Silaos is made with PEFC certified oak sourced in Europe. The oak is untreated and at the end of product life, it does not require processing which is detrimental to the environment unlike class 4 pine, which is treated to the core with preservatives and which requires very harmful incineration techniques at the and of product life. Exotic woods are less expensive than PEFC oak but deforestation of tropical regions is environmentally irresponsible and unsustainable.
- The wood is finished with a water based stain preserver which permanently protects the wood from the weather and pollution while respecting the environment.
Silaos packaging
- The packaging is made from 100% recycled cardboard
- Products are shipped flat packed to minimise volume & maximise load space to reduce the environmental impact of transport.
All Silaos products are available in a choice of Light Oak or Mahogany bodies and a choice of frame styles and colours.
