One of the reasons we love this company is because of their corporate philosophy.  Read about Rejuvenation and their commitment to the environment and reducing their carbon footprint:

Rejuvenation's culture is defined by core values that include treating the environment fairly and with respect. Founded in 1977 as an architectural salvage retailer, we have long demonstrated a commitment to recycling and reuse.

"It's part of who we are," says Alysa Rose, Rejuvenation President. "We feel strongly that we have both an opportunity and an obligation to try to make things better through our actions."

It starts with Rejuvenation employees. A cross-departmental, employee-run Sustainability Committee ensures that we incorporate sustainability principles throughout our operations. That includes everything from our big-picture manufacturing practices - like the clear coating system shown above which significantly lowered our VOC output - all the way down to the little details such as replacing paper-wasting salt-and-pepper packets with large containers in the lunchroom. We're pleased that the company's efforts have inspired some of our employees to take a Voluntary Simplicity class in their free time.

One of Rejuvenation's unique conservation efforts is our "alternative commuting" benefit that pays employees to walk, carpool or ride our bikes to work, and subsidizes those who take public transit. In fact, our decision to stay in the city of Portland rather than move to the much-less-costly suburbs is largely to limit the commute for the majority of its employees. We also inaugurated a fleet of company bikes that employees can use during the workday to run errands, attend meetings, or just get outside for a breath of fresh air.

Recycling is widespread, far beyond the usual bins for cans, containers, and newsprint. Every office and workstation separates paper to be shredded and utilized in packaging. Nearly all of our packaging materials are 100% recyclable. We ship our products using the innovative packaging system, which turns flat rolls of Kraft paper into three-dimensional honeycombed cushioning. Not only can our customers recycle it at the curb but also we hear their cats love it!
