Environmental Responsibility
Coco Republic remains committed to minimising its environmental impacts across its supply chain and internal operations and has set a number of targets to achieve this.
Coco Republic’s white glove delivery option involves packaging being returned to our warehouses, where it is re-cycled in three re-cycling streams; cardboard, plastic and polystyrene.
Our buying team make every effort to engage with companies that are environmentally and socially responsible when sourcing and manufacturing product. Each supplier's environmental policy must meet Coco Republic's Environmental and Ethical Standards before being approved as a supplier. This includes ensuring that the supplier implements policies regarding the improvement of their operations and production methods with regards to environmental impact.
All timbers used in the making of Coco Republic solid timber products come from regeneration forests or are sourced from reclaimed timber suppliers. Further to this, Coco Republic's local timber furniture suppliers work with carbon offsetting programs to offset some of their timber usage.
Coco Republic recycles fabric off-cuts to maximise efficiency, and ensure that its upholstery suppliers operate a recycling system within their production operations.
As part of our commitment to sustainability, Coco Republic holds membership with the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO).
The APCO Packaging Sustainability Framework aims to provide a consistent and tranparent framework for assessing and tracking packaging sustainability across organisations.
