Why the Muskoka Chair Company is the Sustainable Choice: A Closed-Loop Revolution
At the Muskoka Chair Company, we believe that quality craftsmanship and sustainability should go hand in hand. While many competitors continue to rely on traditional materials that contribute to environmental degradation, we have chosen to incorporate a variety of options, walking a different path—one that prioritizes the health of our planet. Thanks to our partnership with Tangent, we utilize a closed-loop recycling system that ensures minimal waste, reduces pollutants, and helps create a cleaner future for generations to come.

What is Closed Loop Recycling?
Closed-loop recycling is an advanced process that allows materials to be reused indefinitely without losing quality. Unlike open-loop recycling, where materials are down-cycled into lower-quality products, closed-loop systems ensure that materials maintain their integrity and can be repurposed again and again!

At the Muskoka Chair Company, this means that every chair we create from Tangent’s recycled plastic boards contributes to an eco-friendly cycle, reducing the need for virgin materials and significantly cutting down on waste.

Environmental Benefits of Our Materials By choosing to manufacture our chairs with Tangent’s high-quality recycled HDPE plastic—sourced from post-consumer and post-industrial waste like milk jugs and laundry detergent bottles—we are making a meaningful impact on the environment. Here’s how:

1. Reducing Air and Water Pollutants
The production of virgin plastic releases significant amounts of harmful emissions into the air and can result in toxic runoff contaminating water sources. Tangent’s closed-loop process minimizes these emissions, ensuring cleaner air and water for our communities.

2. Lowering Toxic Exposures
Traditional plastic production exposes workers and surrounding communities to hazardous chemicals. By using recycled HDPE plastics, we help reduce the need for toxic manufacturing processes, creating safer environments for both people and wildlife.

3. Reducing Waste and Landfill Pileup
Each year, Tangent diverts an astounding 15,000 tons of plastic from landfills—equivalent to approximately 210 million plastic milk bottles! When you choose a Muskoka Chair, you are actively preventing plastic waste from accumulating in landfills and oceans.

4. Protecting Our Forests
Unlike wooden outdoor furniture, which contributes to deforestation, our recycled plastic chairs help preserve trees and natural habitats. By reducing the demand for wood, we play a role in conserving forests that absorb carbon dioxide and provide essential ecosystems for wildlife.
Building a Stronger Planet, One Chair at a Time

The Muskoka Chair Company is more than just a furniture brand—we are part of a movement to build a cleaner, greener future.
