Metal – strong, stylish, and recyclable
When it comes to raw materials, metal is second only to wood in the amount we use. And for good reason. It’s not only durable, it’s affordable too. And we want to make it more sustainable by ensuring that our metal is sourced and produced in a responsible way.

Top three in our metal charts
We use three main types of metal: Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel and Aluminum. Each of these metals has unique properties and will affect a product’s performance, durability, and looks.

Carbon Steel
One of our most used materials, carbon steel is a low-cost material that’s durable and recyclable. In fact, it’s one of the most recycled materials in the world.

Stainless Steel
Durable and corrosion-resistant, stainless steel can be recycled repeatedly with no loss of quality. Its unique qualities make it perfect for wet environments, or for products that come in contact with food.

Aluminum
Lightweight and easy to produce in difference shapes and sizes, aluminum is a material that’s durable, infinitely recyclable, and doesn’t rust.
