Cheap, trendy and easy-to-ditch furniture comes with a hefty environmental toll.
Still, people can minimize furniture waste by extending the lifespan of their existing pieces. By taking care of them and practicing proper maintenance, their good condition can be preserved for a longer time. Accidents do happen, and furniture damage can’t always be prevented, but that’s no reason to throw an item out immediately. Most of the time, the damage isn’t permanent and you can either fix it yourself or have it repaired.
But the best way to increase your furniture's lifespan is buying items designed to last, says Skar. “That's easier and cheaper in the long run than spending time and money trying to fix something that will fail repeatedly over time. If you can, save up and spend money on a well-built piece of furniture that could last a lifetime, and even be passed on as an heirloom to family or friends.”In general, you can avoid fast furniture by buying more mindfully.
