Sustainable Materials: What Makes Our Products Eco-Friendly
Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s woven into every piece we curate. Our mission is simple: to help you create beautiful, functional spaces that reflect your values, without compromising the planet. From organic cotton to handwoven jute, the materials behind our products are carefully chosen for their eco-friendly properties.
Here's a closer look at what makes our products sustainable and how they contribute to a greener, more conscious home.
1. Organic Cotton: Soft on the Skin, Gentle on the Earth
One of the key materials we love is organic cotton. Unlike conventional cotton, which relies on harmful chemicals, organic cotton is grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. This makes it not only softer and safer for you but also better for the environment. By choosing organic cotton, you're supporting farming practices that work in harmony with nature, conserving water, and promoting healthier soil.
2. Jute: Natural Durability with Rustic Charm
Jute is a superstar when it comes to sustainable materials. It’s a renewable, biodegradable fiber that grows quickly and requires little water or chemical intervention. This makes it a low-impact crop that’s both environmentally friendly and highly durable.
Not only does jute bring rustic charm, but its strength and longevity mean your investment is built to last—another key principle of sustainability.
3. Terracotta: Honoring Tradition, Reducing Waste
Terracotta is an ancient material that’s as sustainable as it is timeless. Made from natural clay, it’s renewable, recyclable, and has a low environmental impact when sourced responsibly. Our Red Travertine Oval Tray are perfect examples of how this material can bring warmth and authenticity to your home, all while respecting the earth. Each piece is handcrafted by artisans, blending tradition with sustainability.
By choosing terracotta, you’re embracing materials that have been used for centuries—rooted in history and designed to stand the test of time.
4. Recycled Materials: A Second Life for Beautiful Design
We also love incorporating recycled materials into our product offerings. Using recycled textiles and materials reduces the demand for new resources, minimizes waste, and helps lower carbon emissions.
Every time you choose a recycled piece, you’re supporting a circular economy that values regeneration over waste.
5. FSC-Certified Wood: Supporting Responsible Forestry
Wood is a cornerstone of interior design, but not all wood is created equal. We only curate products made with FSC-certified wood, which means it comes from responsibly managed forests that prioritize biodiversity and sustainability.
By choosing FSC-certified wood, you're helping to protect forests, support local communities, and reduce deforestation—while still enjoying beautifully crafted, timeless pieces in your home.
6. Low-Waste Production Processes: Thoughtful, Ethical Crafting
Sustainability at Aus Home Basics isn’t just about the materials themselves—it’s about the entire production process. We work with artisans and manufacturers who embrace low-waste techniques, minimizing material offcuts, reducing water usage, and ensuring ethical labor practices.
