How can DeBlauw Purchasing help you while maintaining the eco-friendly level that you desire?
Sustainable products begin at the design stage. We can help you to achieve a design that is simple, efficient, and non-invasive. We incorporate products that are made from recycled components and materials. We will look at lines of upholstered products that are made from reclaimed or certified wood, have a high percentage of post-consumer recycled content, have a bio-based or recycled foam core, and reduce packaging waste. The case goods that can be used in your guest rooms are made from local reclaimed or salvage lumber rather than virgin timber, and we look for a domestic supplied wood source, rather than imported hard woods. There are fabrics available that are made from organic wools and cotton, and materials such as hemp, agave, flax, abaca and coconut.
DeBlauw Purchasing, LLC has relationships with hundreds of vendors in the industry. We have partnered with manufacturers that are taking action and providing a “green program” at their facility, as well as with the product that they produce, so that we can help you to take your environmentally conscious 
desire to the next level. One of our seating manufacturers located in Hickory NC heats their entire facility with wood scraps generated from the production of frame parts when constructing upholstered furniture. They use lumber that comes from regenerated forest, and use every bit of material, including the dust that is produced, either for their product or for the efficiency of their facility.
With the ever growing need for eco-friendly products, our manufacturers are offering a greater variety of product styles so that your hotel can be unique, and can meet criteria to be considered a “green” or eco-friendly hotel. Sustainability and environmental responsibility are top priorities at DeBlauw Purchasing. Contact us to see how we can help you with your next project.
