Calhoun, Ga. — Rug and home accessories manufacturer Surya announced last month its membership in the Sustainable Furnishings Council. Surya joins a group of progressive home furnishings industry players to promote sustainable practices across all levels of the chain, from manufacturing to the retailer and end-consumer.
The Sustainable Furnishings Council was formed in 2006 to act as a valuable repository of knowledge on a number of issues concerning sustainability and provide up-to-date guidelines for best practices. “We are delighted to have welcomed Surya into Sustainable Furnishings Council membership – they are a dynamic company, bringing unique energy to their product development and marketing efforts. The company’s profound commitment to excellence will result in responsibility to the cause, as well as to their customer,” says Susan Inglis, executive director of the Sustainable Furnishings Council.
Surya has been increasing its collection of products made out of natural materials – recognizing the growing need in the market for sustainable products. “As a home accessories manufacturer, we look for ways to work smarter and eliminate waste wherever possible within the supply chain. Joining the SFC organization will give us more tools to affect industry change and a platform to share valuable information with other manufacturers and retailers,” says Surya president Satya Tiwari.
Surya will be showcasing numerous rugs and poufs made out of natural materials during the upcoming Atlanta and Las Vegas winter markets. Learn more about the initiatives of the Sustainable Furnishings Council at www.sustainablefurnishings.org.
