Looking to make your nail space greener? Check out REM’s sustainable furniture

REM has added to its range of salon and spa furniture with items made from sustainably and locally sourced materials. The range includes chairs and nail desks as well as a pedispa, display stand and reception desk.

In order to reduce the company’s carbon footprint, around 95% of REM’s product range is manufactured in the UK, the woods used for materials and packaging are certified to FSC and PEFC forestry standards and packaging is produced from recycled sources.

“Year on year, REM has continued to improve its carbon footprint and regularly challenge its supplier base to work and supply in a manner focused on reducing the impact on the environment,” comments Trevor Lingard, commercial director at REM UK.

“Following the collective agreements made in the recent UN Climate Change Conference (COP26), we too are committed to continuous improvement to be more environmentally friendly. With the country now focused on a carbon neutral society by 2030, we are in the process of taking advice from consultancy experts to develop our business strategy for the next eight years.”

REM has also partnered with non-profit initiative JUST ONE tree, to plant a tree for every product sold in the line. Simply quote REMO4 when ordering.

Lingard continues: “Being an avid nature lover and through watching countless documentaries, I’ve noticed the many areas around the world where deforestation is having a disastrous impact on the climate and indigenous populations.

“For instance, Madagascar has lost 90% of its forests through logging and poor farming techniques. Our commitment to plant a tree for every product sold during the REM04 campaign will help contribute to reforestation projects in Madagascar and other areas around the globe.”
