Sustainable sourcing has become an increasingly important consideration in interior design as more and more people seek to reduce their environmental impact and promote sustainable practices. In order to source sustainable products, it’s essential to consider the environmental impact of the materials and processes used in their production.
Look for products made from sustainable materials, such as recycled or upcycled materials, organic cotton, or sustainably harvested wood. Another important consideration is the energy and water usage associated with the production of the product, as well as the transportation and packaging involved in getting the product to its final destination.
When possible, look for products that are made locally, as this can help reduce the environmental impact of transportation. Additionally, look for products that are certified as sustainable by reputable organizations such as the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) or the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS). By sourcing sustainable products, designers can reduce their environmental impact and promote ethical and socially responsible practices within the industry.
