ECO FRIENDLY
PRESERVING THE PLANET FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS
Do your part to save the world by purchasing eco-friendly furniture.
Romina is known for creating beautiful pieces of heirloom furniture, but we’re also known for our eco-friendly manufacturing process.
We believe that offering future generations the best furniture is not enough. It’s only enough if we do everything in our power to preserve the environment throughout the entire process.
Sustainable wood harvesting is not just a slogan - it’s a way of life. It’s our passion to make sure that future generations are left with the beautiful, bountiful planet that our parents and grandparents enjoyed.
From sustainable harvesting to renewable energy production, we are actively involved in every aspect of environmental conservation. We require our wood suppliers to uphold eco-certifications, and we follow environmental requirements at our manufacturing plant near Bucharest, Romania. We even manufacture and use clean bio-fuel from renewable sources to power our operation!
SUSTAINABLE HARVESTING
Following European eco-friendly treaties, as well as upholding green certifications, is not something we have to do. We do it because we think it’s important, and we believe it’s important for our suppliers to have the same green mindset.
All of our beech lumber is harvested sustainably from European forests in compliance with the European Treaty for Forest Re-Harvesting. This is important because leafy forests that contain beech trees produce most of the earth’s oxygen. Without replacing this vital resource, we could be putting ourselves and future generations at risk. The European Treaty for Forest Re-Harvesting ensures that every beech tree that is harvested to create Romina furniture is replaced by five new trees that can grow to maturity.
EFFICIENT SUPPLY MANAGEMENT
Our engineers use sophisticated software applications to determine the optimal size and specifications for all wood boards and components that are to be used in our current designs.
These measurements are then forwarded to our wood suppliers, who in turn harvest trees with this data in mind. This information enables them to maximize the volume of wood extracted from a tree truck, thus minimizing waste in the harvesting process.
We make sure even our wood waste isn’t wasted by converting it into bi-products used in the packaging stage, as well as converting into energy in our wood operated furnace generators.
ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT
Each step of the manufacturing process focuses on reducing the use of materials, energy, and resources.
Producing furniture like the kind made by Romina boasts a long life, which further reduces waste and consumption. Longevity and multi-functionality are the foundation on which our entire operation rests, knowing that it’s what’s best for your family, as well as the environment.
Beech forests are the only leafy forests in the world which have experienced growth in the past 20 years, thanks to the reforestation treaties in effect, and thanks to manufacturers like Romina that understand that we are leaving this planet to future generations.
RENEWABLE ENERGY
Individual initiatives need an equal amount of effort on behalf of manufacturers. This is an area where Romina is leading the way.
We strive to make a lasting and substantial impact through green energy production. Our sister company generates almost 80,000 tons of ethanol from corn and other organic renewable sources.
To put our impact in perspective, the amount of ethanol we produce can fuel 3,000 cars for an entire year.
NO VOCS, NO FORMALDEHYDE, NO TOXINS
Did you know that the planet is made up of just 118 different elements?
Unfortunately, some of these elements are better for our health than others, and determining the difference can be surprisingly difficult.
At Romina, we don’t distinguish between bad toxins and not-so-bad toxins. We never use VOCs, formaldehyde, or other toxic materials in our manufacturing process, even as other manufacturers may use them to save money. Even the youngest members of your family can breathe easy when you allow a piece of Romina furniture to enter your home.
