Environmental issues are very real, and everything we do has some kind of impact on the environment, so where does upholstery fit in?
There are many parts of an upholstery project which can have an environmental impact, from foam, glue, webbing, wood and fabric.

| WoJo fabric in 'action' |
Lets talk about fabric.
We are lucky in New Zealand, we have fantastic options such as The Formary. They are known for their using industrial waste and turning it into some other usable product. In one case they've created a fabric called WoJo which is a textile created from Starbucks coffee sacks mixed with New Zealand wool. The end result is a unique fabric that is easy on the environment and fantastic to use. UFO were lucky enough to be involved in using this product for the first time in New Zealand.
