At Design Resource, partnering with companies that have their hearts in the right place has always been important to our family-owned business. It makes the difference between a good company and a great company. This Earth Day, we're diving a little deeper into a few green initiatives from our product lines. We believe that nature is a place to honor and protect daily, and we know small actions can make a big impact.

A True Commitment

Two of the leading wallcovering manufacturers, Colour and Design and Denovo, have made grand changes with the environment in mind. In 2010, they were Energy Star rated while reaching 100% offset of energy consumption with the use of green e-certified off-site renewable wind power. Also in 2010, they started to go 100% offset of carbon emissions. In 2011, Colour and Design and Denovo became USGBC leed gold certified!

Environmentally Friendly

Stacked Wood consciously navigates manufacturing while thinking about the process of creating their panels. No part of the tree is wasted and utilizes raw timbers sourced from sustainably managed North American forests (excluding Reclaimed Collection).

  • 100% of the varnishes and oils they use are continuously recycled throughout the production cycle.

  • Stacked Wood uses formaldehyde-free adhesives and other products.

The Teak RC pattern(s) from the Reclaimed Collection is FSC-Certified, composed entirely of recycled wood. Through FSC-certification, they demonstrate their commitment to the environment.
