With our roots in the landscape and a stated purpose to “Enrich Outdoor Spaces,” Landscape Forms has a special relationship to the natural environment. Review our Environmental Statement to better understand our earth friendly policies.
By employing recycled materials and wood from managed forests (including wood with FSC Chain of Custody Certification upon request), adopting environmentally sustainable processes, producing products that are also recyclable, and implementing energy efficient systems and the use of “green” products in our facility, we meet our customers’ expectation for high-design, high-quality products that also help them meet their sustainable goals.
Landscape Forms products are designed and engineered to live long, useful lives in outdoor spaces without the use of cleaning chemicals to maintain the finish. We test our seating products to BIFMA durability standards. Products are designed to allow replacement of damaged parts. Our longevity and low maintenance goals translate into better stewardship of the earth’s resources.
Landscape Forms products contribute to LEED certification in the following ways:

| Metal is the world’s most recycled material and is fully recyclable. Our products are primarily formed of steel and aluminum.

PolySite recycled plastic timbers, formed of HDPE with a 90% recycled content, may be specified for several Landscape Forms products. Refer to our PolySite® Technical Sheet for more details. PolySite is 100% recyclable. Review our list of recycled content by product. |
