Sustainability

Kinnell & Posch puts sustainability at the forefront of every decision. The core of that thinking results in the production of items that are built to last. From the locally sourced wood to the ink that's used on our marketing material, we consider sustainability first across all our decision making processes.

TEAK

Our furniture is made in Indonesia from A Grade teak which is responsibly sourced from a local government managed plantation. The wood is kiln dried before the manufacturing process begins to extend the lifetime of our products.  

SEATING, BACK RESTS AND COVERS

All of our seating, back rests, cushions and covers are made in New Zealand as a means of reducing our carbon footprint. We only use Sunbrella^® fabric and Quick Dry Foam which are designed for New Zealand's varied and changeable climate, and made to last for years.  

PRINTING

Our printers use responsibly sourced paper and card and vegetable based inks across all our marketing material. Vegetable based inks are 99% derived from vege sources such as corn, walnut, coconut, linseed, canola and soya beans.

Vegetable inks release significantly fewer VOCs into the atmosphere during the drying process, and water based products are used to clean the press after production. Also, stripping ink from paper during the paper recycling process is much easier with vegetable inks and produces less hazardous waste.

FREIGHT

In seeking to reduce our emissions, our freight company's sustainability initiatives include using a well maintained, modern and fuel efficient fleet producing less harmful CO² levels.
