How can I select a sustainable material for my garden bench?
I'm currently designing a new seating area in my garden in Zurich, and I'm keen on ensuring that every element I use is environmentally friendly. I’ve been researching wood types and their sustainability, but I’m a bit overwhelmed by the options. My garden setup includes a mix of native plants, and I'm trying to maintain a balanced ecosystem, so I want to avoid materials that could harm the local biodiversity. I’ve looked into recycled plastic and composite materials too, but I'm uncertain about their environmental impact. Can anyone help me weigh the pros and cons of these materials and suggest the best options that align with my commitment to sustainability?
