LONG-TERM COMMITMENT
Our dedication to sustainability extends to our long-term vision for a greener future. We continuously seek ways to improve our environmental practices and reduce our carbon footprint.
GREEN BEFORE GREEN WAS GREEN
CTI has a long-standing commitment to sustainability, rooted in a family legacy of environmental responsibility. Our founder's great-grandfather pioneered sustainable forestry by implementing the first tree farm at Schafer Brothers Logging Company in the Pacific Northwest. Building on that foundation, over 20 years ago, CTI introduced fast-growing bamboo for rot-free frames as part of our eco-friendly innovations. Today, we continue to lead in sustainability by enhancing our products with recycled polystyrene, maintaining our focus on both environmental stewardship and cutting-edge materials.
SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS
We prioritize the use of renewable resources and responsibly sourced materials in our products. This ensures that our offerings are both sustainable and high-performing.
ECO-FRIENDLY PRACTICES
We implement eco-friendly manufacturing processes across all our operations. From reducing waste to optimizing energy use, we strive to minimize our environmental impact.
