Topic: Sustainable update
Cork is an amazing product – it’s green and sustainable. Cork is harvested from the base of cork oak trees and it has great insulation and noise reduction qualities. It’s also a renewable resource as it’s peeled from the tree in a way that protects it and allows a new cork layer to begin to grow. Green Sahara Furniture recently added Moroccan cork panels to the walls in our production facility in Casablanca to help reduce the noise generated from our woodworking machines. As much of Morocco is mixed residential and commercial buildings built almost entirely with concrete, noise is a problem all over Morocco – for neighbors and for workers. At Green Sahara Furniture, we’re trying to do our part by being a good neighbor and employer by keeping our “noise pollution” to a minimum – making it a better place for people to live and work together. We’re also checking out the availability of locally-grown cork to use in future Green Sahara Furniture designs.
