Sustainability
Minimal Resource Consumption.
When it comes to packaging, we keep our carbon footprint low. We developed a game-changing vacuum compression process that removes 90% of the air from our foam without compromising their performance. By reducing our box sizes by 66%, we’re able to cut down on paper product consumption so that fewer trees are cut down. Although materials such as paper cardboard may be easy to recycle, the production of these materials is still harmful to the environment with large amounts of carbon emissions, water, and energy required to process and transport.

Less Fuel.
The smaller the box, the better its space-saving capabilities. Our package size shrinkage increases the amount of product that can be shipped at once, allowing us to deliver pleasure in bulk, thereby reducing fuel emissions as well. We also source 70% of our materials locally from suppliers only two hours away from our facility. This close proximity keeps fuel usage and carbon emissions during the transportation process minimal.

Upcycling Waste.
Our goals are to reduce environmental impact while reducing cost wherever possible. CNC foam profiling of furniture leaves us with a daily surplus of leftover foam trim. We repurpose over 1 million pounds of this excess foam annually to create upcycled micro-cushions used as cushy fill for our bean bags. Breathing new life into our leftovers and saving our materials from winding up in landfills build initiatives toward cleaner, greener, and safer practices contributing to a better world around us.

Made Here.
Making a positive impact on the world goes beyond environmentalism, which is why we also take measures towards being socially responsible. All manufacturing of Avana products takes place at our headquarters in Atlanta, GA, where we offer job training to those interested in joining our team, thereby helping to fuel our local economy.
