At Pelican Reef, we are continually looking for ways to limit our impact on the environment and always try to use the most environmentally friendly manufacturing techniques and materials possible. Pelican Reef recognizes a responsibility for its customers, suppliers and staff to base its activities on well managed resources. We believe that all our activities and operations have an impact upon the environment and that environmental issues are of critical importance. Accordingly the company is also committed to achieving environmental best practices throughout its activity whenever this is practical. Pelican Reef takes responsibility for the development and endorsement of this statement and its implementation throughout all operations. Key personnel have been appointed to carry out the policy to ensure that key members of staff are trained and that all employees are advised of our position. Pelican Reef maintains a policy of continuous environmental improvement and therefore is a continuing work in progress. Pelican Reef is committed to buying and using all materials from rattan and hardwood to finishing materials from reputable and renewable suppliers. We seek appropriate evidence that suppliers are in compliance with this policy. As different sources become more available, the company will give preference to suppliers wherever practical and will not purchase any materials that are known to have originated from dubious sources or are prohibited by law. Pelican Reef strives to use materials that are processed in an environmentally responsible manner, or consist of a high level of recycled material. For example, our finishing materials and stains used in our furniture products now consist of 75% water-based solutions which evaporate upon application with reduced or Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC's). Rattan components of which most of our products consist is sourced from sustained-yield managed forests. This means the methods used to grow and harvest the rattan vines ensure the long-term life of the forest and protect the biodiversity of the forest's ecosystems. The company is committed to reduce consumption of all materials and packaging wherever possible and is committed to recycling packaging materials where practicable. This policy commits Pelican Reef to continuous environmental improvement, to be environmentally friendly, to demonstrate sound environmental performance, to prevent pollution and take actions that will lead to environmental sustainability. It applies to all our activities and their effect on our employees, contractors, suppliers, customers, the general public, and the world environment. The furniture factories use water-based glues, stains, topcoats and other finishes on ALL of their products. The switch from traditional solvent-based processes to water-based processes involved consolidating several processes by the factories. The result is an 85% reduction in VOC emissions today compared to 5 years ago. Any VOC emissions that are produced are captured by our emission control process. Water from the finishing process is cleaned and reused in a continuous loop. The water-based finish technology used in the facilities was developed with our suppliers as a better alternative to solvent-based finishes. Our water-based finish is nearly VOC-free, is durable yet repairable, and produces a beautiful, clear product. Since these finishes cure faster there's less risk of damage to the products during shipping and installation. Our production line is continuously monitored to assure minimum emission of harmful substances and raw materials waste. PRODUCTS All of Pelican Reef products are green. From its basic raw materials of rattan poles, peels, leather, bamboo, abaca, lampacanay, wood, leather strips, and boards down to other materials like nails, staples, water-based adhesives, finishes, stains, glazes and packing materials: all have minimum impact to the environment and are safe, biodegradable and recycled and mostly recyclable. Aside from this, the products have undergone an environmentally-friendly process that makes them "greener".
