Montauk Sofa Offsets

We have always enjoyed the look of the Montauk sofa but can now tout their green side as well. All carbon monoxide produced in manufacturing Montauk sofas is offset by environmental strategies like planting trees. The company spends up to $40,000 a year to achieve this green goal.

The furniture manufacturer has entered into an agreement to purchase enough carbon credits from Carbon Neutral Company to offset its entire carbon footprint. Stemming from a growing awareness of climate change, the company’s decision supports initiatives bent on reducing carbon dioxide. Montauk Sofa’s funds will aid programs including tree planting and methane capture in coal mines.

Montauk Sofa’s environmental efforts extend to its manufacturing techniques. The firm recycles, uses biodegradable materials (including products with 100 percent natural materials), and implements an eco-friendly program driven by employees.
