Eco-Friendly and Stylish: A Deeper Look Into The Sustainability of our Shelving

Eco-Friendly and Stylish: A Deeper Look Into The Sustainability of our Shelving

by Matt Genefaas

Looking for sustainable shelving options? Look no further than Made of Tomorrow! Our Aluminium Powdercoated shelving units are not only functional and stylish, but also environmentally friendly. 

First things first, let's talk about the sustainability of Aluminium. Did you know that Aluminium is one of the most sustainable materials on the planet? It is the third most abundant element in the Earth's crust, and it can be recycled endlessly without losing its quality or integrity. This means that once it is produced, it can be reused over and over again, reducing the need for new resources and minimising waste.

The recycling process of aluminium is also very efficient. It takes only 5% of the energy to recycle aluminium compared to producing it from scratch. This translates into significant energy savings, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and less pollution.


Aluminium is not only eco-friendly, but it's also lightweight and durable, making it perfect for making epic shelves and homeware. It's strong and powerful but also light and nice to work with. Its strength-to-weight ratio is off the charts. Plus, its lightweight properties make it a hero for the environment too in which it reduces transportation emissions too!

Now, let's move on to the powder coating. Powder coating is an eco-friendly alternative to traditional liquid paints. Our powder coating process produces zero waste, and any unused powder can be collected and reused, which means that we're not contributing to the harmful emissions that traditional paints and coatings produce.

When it comes to packaging, we've got that covered too! All of our packaging is 100% recyclable. We use biodegradable and compostable packing materials to ensure that we're not contributing to the landfill. Plus, our packaging is designed to be as minimal as possible to reduce waste.

And last but not least, our shipping cartons are all 100% recyclable. We know that shipping can contribute to a lot of waste, which is why we've made a conscious effort to use eco-friendly materials. Plus, our boxes are designed to be as compact as possible, which means that we're reducing our carbon footprint during transportation.

At Made of Tomorrow, we take sustainability seriously. We're always looking for ways to reduce waste and be kind to the environment. When you choose a Made of Tomorrow product, you can feel good about your decision knowing that you're making a sustainable choice. Have more questions? Sing out - we’d love to hear from you!
