Our Commitment to
Sustainable & Eco-Friendly Fabrication
We're dedicated to creating Nala Pod in harmony with nature.
Renewable
Materials
As the most environmentally friendly material, we use wood for the majority of the Nala Pod. More trees are grown each year in the United States than are harvested which makes wood a naturally renewable resource. From an ecological and environmental point of view, no other material can compete.
Streamlined Manufacturing
We have many long standing relationships with trusted and reliable manufacturers in New York, making the process easily customizable and streamlined. Local manufactures give us greater control over supply chain stability, quality assurance and waste management.
Fair Labor, Fair Production
Sustainability also entails social responsibility. We engage with local and innovative designers and manufacturers who align with our mission of providing an inclusive, diverse and equitable work environment for their employees. All of our vendors are regulated by New York State Labor Laws that protect their workforce with minimum wage requirements.
Carbon
Footprint
Using regional raw materials and suppliers, combined with local production significantly improves the carbon footprint of Nala Pod. By sourcing locally, Nala Pod reduces transportation emissions and supports the regional economy. This approach not only minimizes environmental impact but also strengthens community relationships.
