What is LifestyleGarden’s company mission?

Dedicated to ‘Doing Business the Right Way’, LifestyleGarden’s company mission is to create exceptional outdoor furniture that combines innovative design and functionality with sustainability at its core. Living by the motto of ‘We care now, to make the world a better place to live in the future’, LifestyleGarden ensure that each product is created to enhance outdoor living experiences whilst protecting the planet for future generations. 

Since the beginning of the business, LifestyleGarden’s ultimate goal has been to deliver the very best outdoor furniture through the use of recycling and repurposed manufacturing principles. Delivering elegant, durable and sustainable furniture in a vast range of colours and designs that match any home exterior aesthetic, LifestyleGarden uses design principles that keep circularity and longevity in mind.

Is LifestyleGarden sustainable? 

Yes, proud winners of SOLEX Sustainability Award two years in a row, LifestyleGarden is dedicated to environmental stewardship and is a leader in responsibly creating products within the furniture industry. Committed to diligent ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles, LifestyleGarden focuses on the 5 R’s (refuse, reduce, reuse, recycle and rethink) to strive towards creating a more circular economy throughout its production of sustainable furniture, from initial design to sourcing materials and beyond.

By refusing the use of hazardous chemicals, reducing the consumption of energy and reusing and recycling materials throughout production, LifestyleGarden has adhered to responsible practices to create a line of innovative products that align with the goal of creating a greener planet. From this commitment to sustainability and use of circular manufacturing processes, LifestyleGarden has created multiple ‘Plastic Collections’ including, DuraOcean® and Social Plastic®, both endorsed by the Eden Project, that use recycled materials to create its unique, sustainably made products. The types of recycled and reused materials used in the creation of its sustainable furniture include but are not limited to recycled plastics from marine debris, sustainable teak wood and ethically sourced eucalyptus.

What are the benefits of LifestyleGarden furniture?

Designed to help create a beautiful outdoor space for you to enjoy, LifestyleGarden furniture offers a variety of outdoor furniture sets and accessories made from responsibly sourced materials. Not only does the sustainable furniture from LifestyleGarden brighten up your home’s exterior, but it can also:

• Reduce the need for frequent replacements

Due to the innovative designs and use of sustainable materials, LifestyleGarden furniture is built to last, meaning that the need to frequently replace your outdoor furniture is significantly reduced. The durability of the furniture and its high-quality designs help to extend the typical lifespan, making it not only cost-effective for the customer but also more sustainable as the need to source new materials and energy consumption from production is reduced as well.

• Help protect natural ecosystems

The use of sustainable and ethically sourced materials in the production of LifestyleGarden furniture helps to protect natural ecosystems. Using recycled materials such as plastic helps to keep microplastics out of the environment and reduces carbon emissions caused by the creation of synthetic materials. Using ethically sourced materials also helps reduce harm to protected landscapes and helps ensure fair, ethical treatment of workers. 

• Reduce carbon footprint 

The use of recycled materials is not only beneficial for the planet as natural ecosystems are not being harmed by extraction or sourcing of materials, but the carbon emissions that come as a result of the manufacturing and transportation process of typical furniture production are also significantly reduced.

Below are just a few of the sustainable furniture sets available to purchase here at the Eden Project Shop to liven up your outdoor space using responsible practices that don’t harm the environment.
