There are a lot of renewable sources that manufacturers could use when building the furniture,so you should be keeping an eye out for them.Bamboo can be an excellent replacement for wood and can also replace plastics and metals in some furnishing.Cotton is a soft fabric that is safe for the environment and it can be replenished(补充) often.Hemp is also a renewable source that can be used for fabric and twine.
