The Problem with Fast Furniture
In today's world, fast furniture is becoming as problematic as fast fashion. Mass-produced, low-cost furniture made from cheap materials like MDF and particleboard is filling homes quickly, but it’s just as quickly discarded. These pieces are often not built to last, leading to massive amounts of waste. In 2018 alone, Americans threw away over 12 million tons of furniture, with more than 80% ending up in landfills. Not only does fast furniture contribute to environmental degradation, but the use of cheaper materials also means a shorter lifespan for the products, requiring constant replacement and creating a cycle of waste.
Fast furniture is also filled with harmful chemicals like formaldehyde and VOCs (volatile organic compounds), which are often found in low-quality wood composites and finishes. These chemicals can release toxins into your home, contributing to indoor air pollution and posing health risks to your family.
