Monte Design Group

At Monte Design Group we are committed to minimizing the negative impact we have on the environment. Here are a few of the steps we have taken to make our products more environmentally responsible: Our foam is manufactured from natural seed-based oils such as soybean. It significantly decreases the dependence on fossil fuels like petroleum and ultimately lessens greenhouse gas emissions. Our foam is both C.F.C. and P.B.D.E . free and meets all CAL 117 requirements. All our wood meets the requirements of the LEED Rating System for wood adhesives (no urea formaldehyde added), and the glue used in frame construction is water-based and biodegradable. The wood we use is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). Under FSC certification, forestry companies are independently audited to meet the FSC's strict forest management standards. Our suppliers replant an average of 3-4 trees for each one harvested. Our fabrics are manufactured according to Oeko-Tex® Standard 100, meeting globally uniform and scientifically-based (textile and human ecologically relevant) test criteria. All our shipping boxes are made from over 95% recycled materials Our products are custom made in our local Toronto warehouse to ensure high quality and customer satisfaction.
