Waste Minimisation

At our Fantastic Manufacturing facility in New South Wales, we’ve implemented the use of large-scale computer manufacturing technology in conjunction with automated fabric and timber cutting machines to drive material usage efficiency and ensure we minimise any wastage.

Recycling & Second Life Products

At our Fantastic Manufacturing facility in New South Wales, the foam offcuts used in our cushions and seating are captured and recycled into new foam products by supply partners. We are working with one of our key partners to ensure that our timber offcuts generated through the process of our lounge manufacturing, are captured and recycled into particle board and medium density fibreboard. This can then be used in other furniture and building projects in the future.

LED Lighting to Reduce Carbon Emissions

When Fantastic Furniture move into buildings, or refurbish existing ones, we work with our landlords and retail design teams always utilising low energy LED lights. As of 2023, we have successfully rolled out LED lighting across Victorian stores, the Fantastic Furniture distribution centre in Sydney and our Fantastic Manufacturing facility in New South Wales. Following the LED upgrade at the Fantastic Manufacturing facility in NSW, we have seen our average monthly bill drop substantially through an estimated 70% reduction in lighting energy use – savings of more than 1 million kWh each year.

Our Products

Australian Made Sofas and Mattresses: With over 30% of our mattress and sofa ranges made in Australia, we are reducing our distribution of carbon footprint compared to imported products, while supporting the Australian manufacturing industry. Sustainable Fabrics: We are expanding our range of sustainable fabric choices for our customers. We currently offer four sustainable fabric choices across our Australian-made sofa range.
