Sustainability

At Comosum, we're on a mission to make sustainable furniture shopping easy and accessible for everyone. Furniture manufacturing is a significant contributor to pollution and waste, with a staggering 12 million tons of furniture waste generated in 2018 alone. Shockingly, nine million of those tons ended up in landfills, representing 5% of total landfill waste. As the furniture market continues to grow, so does the amount of waste it generates.

Unfortunately, many furniture manufacturers prioritize profit over sustainability, making it difficult for customers to find eco-friendly options that meet their needs. Due to the historical lack of market standards for sustainable furniture, it can be exhausting and tedious to discern greenwashing from authentic sustainability. We at Comosum aim to remedy this. 

While buying second-hand furniture is the most sustainable option, it can be time-consuming and challenging to find exactly what you're looking for. At Comosum, we've partnered with sustainability experts to create our own sustainability rubric that considers factors such as material sourcing, manufacturing processes, ethical sustainability, and many other sustainability metrics. You can dive into this in detail in the sustainability rubric below. We also understand that navigating the many certifications and labels in the industry can be challenging. That's why we've created a certification glossary that provides clear and concise definitions of the various certifications our products hold. 

By curating an assortment of high-quality, eco-friendly furniture options that meet our strict sustainability standards, we make it easy for customers to shop sustainably without sacrificing quality or style.

We're committed to providing our customers with transparent and accurate information about the environmental impact of our products. By shopping with Comosum, you can rest assured that you're making a positive impact on the environment while supporting sustainable practices in the furniture industry. Join us in creating a more sustainable future through sustainable furniture shopping.

To further your positive environmental impact, we pledge to pant a tree for every $100 spent. We are proud to have partnered with One Tree Planted to deliver on this pledge. You can learn more about amazing organization here: www.onetreeplanted.org.
