L.A. Green Bean

Still one major complaint of companies like Q Collection is that while beautifully crafted and sustainable, its furniture and fabric products are out of the reach of most consumers.

But Q Collection is one of LAgb's favorites. And hats off to its team for not only its seamless blend of design and environmental concepts, but also keeping us informed about how chemicals impact our lives.

From Q Collection:

Check out ABC News' recent report which reveals that products on American store shelves now contain a whopping 89,000 chemicals. Many of these chemicals have been proven to increase the risk of cancer, neurological disorders or reproductive defects.

The Environmental Protection Agency has been virtually powerless to regulate these chemicals due in part to lobbying by chemical manufacturers. Fortunately, a new Senate bill pushing for the reform of outdated chemical regulations is expected to be introduced in coming weeks.

This bill will hopefully bring a breath of fresh air (pun intended!) to America's manufacturing processes. In the meantime, the responsibility falls largely on consumers to protect themselves.

At Q Collection our primary goal has always been the elimination of all toxic chemicals. Our team has thoroughly researched a wide selection of potential materials and we are confident that we have selected the purest available.

To start, our furniture is free of formaldehyde and polyurethane and our fabrics are printed with low-impact, heavy metal-free dyes. But that's just the start. To learn more about the other chemicals we don't allow in our products and to better understand how we are different, click here.
