It would seem that there really is truth in the saying, “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure”.
One company has been able to
capitalize on discarded twigs and branches and turned it into a lucrative
business. Nature's Legacy is a Cebu based furniture and garden accessories company
that specializes in stone casting.True to its commitment to the environment,
Nature’s Legacy makes use of five different materials to create their home
furnishing items. Their pioneer material innovation is Stonecast which are made
from natural crushed stone and
is dry-stamped into a mold which simulates how the earth makes limestone. My
favorite would be NuCast which is made of recycled newspapers and
Naturescast which is made out of natural scrap materials like dead shrubs, fallen
twigs and other agro-forest waste. Both of them have main components that
are sustainable, biodegradable, recyclable and environment-friendly, makes use
of a proprietary odorless water-based binder and has no VOCs (Volatile Organic
Compound).
This is upcycling to the exponential
power!

In an interview with ANC Green Living,
Pete Delantar, CEO of Nature’s Legacy, mentioned
that they ensure that their workers are well taken care of. They provide their
employees with living facilities close to the factory/office which I think is
terrific. Not only does it boosts the workers morale and hence their
productivity, but it also minimizes carbon footprint since they don’t have to travel
far.
Nature’s Legacy is truly an excellent
green company that not only provides beautiful furnishings but they are forward
thinking. They understand the 3P’s---People, Profit, Planet. Definitely a
business worth patronizing. Find out more about them on their website.
