OUR MISSION: RAISE THE BAR FOR SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability never looked so good. Elegant and whimsical, our solid wood stool will add a touch of brightness to any room. Tell anyone who sees it that we make it with upcycled wood from our FSC-certified facility (C156318) in Los Angeles. Our Zero Waste Collection is part of our mission to divert more than 80% of our waste from the landfill and complete our Zero Waste Certificate — and to be one of the most sustainable companies on Earth.
MADE WITH UPCYCLED WOOD
We craft our Wood Stool with upcycled wood. Our hardwoods are abundant timbers that we source in the U.S. And they're ideal for furniture — impact resistant and durable.
RESPONSIBLE FINISHES & GLUES
Feel better knowing we assemble our Zero Waste Collection with Titebond® wood glues and ECOS® wood stains.
PAIR WITH OTHER ZERO-WASTE PIECES
Our Wood Stool is part of our Zero Waste Collection that includes a coffee table, accent table, vase, entryway table, bench, and side table. All crafted with upcycled wood, the pieces pair together perfectly.
TRY IT OUT IN AN AVOCADO STORE
Explore our products in real life at one of our Avocado Experience Centers. We designed our stores to be the ideal version of home: warm, welcoming, comfortable, and inclusive. Touch, marvel, and explore our natural materials first-hand, without pressure. It’s a refreshing way to experience our products before buying online. We want to share our mission, so we encourage you to talk to our brand experience advocates. No one at the store is on commission, so if you have any questions about products or specific materials, our knowledgeable staff is on hand to help.
GREENGUARD GOLD CERTIFIED
Our Wood Stool is GREENGUARD Gold certified for low emissions and Formaldehyde Free certified by UL Environment. And as members of the Sustainable Furnishings Council, you can rest assured that our Wood Stool meets the standards for responsible furniture manufacturing.
CLIMATE NEUTRAL CERTIFIED
As a Climate Neutral Certified company since 2019, we've measured Avocado's annual cradle-to-consumer emissions, offset them by investing in climate change solutions, and started taking real action to reduce our emissions. We also recognize our offsets and reductions aren't enough. Solving climate change will require systemic solutions. That's why, through our partnerships with Ceres and the American Sustainable Business Network, we also advocate for state and federal policies that support equitable solutions to the climate crisis.
PROJECT ZERO WASTE
In 2020, Avocado became the first bedding company to have its Landfill Waste Diversion rated Validated by UL. In 2021, we developed more products made with upcycled materials to further limit our waste. Now, we have an entire line of furniture made with upcycled wood remnants from our Los Angeles facility. By being intentional about our materials and manufacturing, we’ve achieved an overall waste diversion rate of 69%. Our goal is to achieve its Zero Waste to Landfill certification by recycling more than 80% of our waste. Implementing zero-waste practices and reducing our environmental impact is essential if we want to make meaningful strides in the fight against climate change and ensure a better, healthier planet for future generations.
