SUSTAINABILITY AT AURA SEATING

All our associates have a passion and attitude to contribute in a meaningful way to the causes they believe in. It is the first thing we discuss in our on-boarding process and make a commitment to partner and grow the passion. Through gifting, community service and outreach we encourage our associates to take up causes and harness the power of co-workers in a good cause. A certain number of hours every month is set aside to work on these projects funded by our profits.

The design of our products involve the environmentally friendly materials, manufacturing process to reduce waste, recycled packaging materials, and least distance and lowest handling transportation methods. Our manufacturing process for bent plywood uses Poplar, a rapid growing and renewable source of wood. Forests grow and replanted every 5-years to replenish this resource. Our aluminum components use recycled content, our fabrics are recycled material, palm oil and Soy based foam (when needed) and packaging materials that are made from recycled paper and pulp.

We are minimalists in raw material consumption, making sure that the product design starts from the end delivery to the customer and work backwards to the least cost for design-manufacturing to minimize waste and maximize recyclable content. Our buyback program makes sure that our products do not make it to the waste heap and is recycled.

We recognize that in the global economy we have to move products against great distances and make sure that the design of the product and the final assembly closest to the customer ensures that the waste is minimized.
