Do you also think our cities inadvertently contribute to ecological harm through conventional street furniture materials? Well, we know the importance of sustainable practices in the street furniture industry, which is why Bluestream brings you a harmonious blend of aesthetic appeal, functionality, and eco-consciousness – through their use of sustainable materials in eco-friendly street furniture design.
In fact, conventional street furniture materials pose grave environmental challenges such as hindering circular economy efforts, having limited lifespans, containing hazardous substances, contributing to deforestation, creating non-recyclable waste, and having a significant carbon footprint. Embracing sustainable materials like coconut timber and granite can lead to a greener and more resilient urban landscape.
A List of Sustainable Street Furniture Materials That We Use
GRANITE
Granite is an exceptional sustainable material for street furniture, offering a combination of durability, aesthetic appeal, and eco-friendliness. One of the most compelling aspects of granite is its longevity; it provides customers with an LTV, reducing the need for frequent replacements and minimizing waste generation. Furthermore, when its lifecycle as environmentally friendly street furniture eventually ends, granite can be recycled and repurposed for other applications, ensuring its environmental impact is minimal.
Sustainable Attributes of Granite as a material for Street Furniture products:
• Granite is a renewable and abundant natural stone, minimizing environmental impact.
• Granite's exceptional durability and resilience makes it perfect for outdoor use, withstanding harsh UAE weather and heavy use for extended periods.
• Granite's minimal maintenance needs lead to upto 35% cost savings over its lifetime.
Environmental Benefits of Granite as a material for Street Furniture products:
• Local Granite sourcing minimizes transportation emissions, reducing total carbon footprint.
• Granite street furniture can be recycled or repurposed, conserving resources and reducing waste.
COCONUT TIMBER
Coconut timber emerges as a promising sustainable alternative to hardwood due to its unique eco-friendly attributes and remarkable versatility. It is known for its durability and resistance to decay, making it a reliable choice for outdoor street furniture.
Its strength ensures that the furniture can withstand heavy use and various weather conditions in the UAE – form extreme heat, winters to sandstorms, without deteriorating quickly. We offer our clients a completely sustainable alternative to hardwood - via coconut timber wooden elements that can curate benches, waste bins, bollards and more.
STAINLESS STEEL
Stainless steel is a sustainable alloy composed of iron, chromium, and other elements, offering street furniture an excellent longevity even in harsh weather conditions.
Moreover, stainless steel's significant sustainability advantage lies in its recyclability. At the end of its life, street furniture made from stainless steel can be recycled into new products, minimizing waste and conserving natural resources. This closed-loop recycling process reduces the environmental footprint and, combined with stainless steel's longevity, decreases the need for frequent replacements, which is why we offer products at up to 35% lesser costs.
Compared to non-sustainable materials like conventional steel or iron, stainless steel stands out due to its corrosion resistance, leading to a longer lifespan and lower maintenance costs. This makes stainless steel a preferable choice for eco-conscious urban street furniture designs.
IROKO WOOD
Iroko, a renewable hardwood from Africa, offers sustainable benefits for street furniture. With fast growth and responsible forestry, it's an eco-friendly choice. Its natural resistance to decay and pests reduces chemical use and preserves local ecosystems.
In outdoor settings in the region of UAE, Iroko's durability withstands harsh elements, lowering maintenance and replacement costs with extended product warranties upto 10 years Due to its natural resistance to insects and decay, street furniture made from iroko wood requires minimal maintenance and has a long lifespan. At the end of its lifecycle, all street furniture made from iroko wood can be recycled or repurposed, contributing to a circular economy.
