Rejuvenation Announces Landfill Diversion Partnership with Habitat for Humanity ReStores and Commits to Sustainably-Sourced Textiles

The home goods retailer announces new initiatives to deepen commitment
to environmental sustainability

PORTLAND, Ore.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Rejuvenation, a Portland, Oregon-based designer, manufacturer and
retailer of quality lighting, hardware and home goods today announced a
partnership with Habitat for Humanity’s ReStores focused on re-use and
landfill diversion. Rejuvenation has also expanded their commitment to
sustainability through their product assortment, announcing that all
textiles will now be sustainably sourced and made from organic fibers.

According to a report by the World Bank, building material accounts for
half of the solid waste generated every year worldwide. As Rejuvenation
customers are often tackling remodeling projects, the company has
committed to helping customers understand their options for mitigating
construction waste. As part of this, Rejuvenation is partnering with
Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore program which diverts 280,000 tons of
waste from landfills across the U.S. each year.

Habitat for Humanity ReStores are home improvement stores and donation
centers that sell new and gently used furniture, appliances, home
improvement products, building materials, and more at a fraction of the
retail prices. Proceeds from, and donations to, ReStores support Habitat
for Humanity’s mission to build affordable homes to empower families
with strength, stability, and self-reliance. Each Rejuvenation store is
connected to their local ReStore and will offer resources and education
to their customers around how to donate home goods and building
materials so they can be reused and recycled.

Rejuvenation was started in 1977 as an architectural salvage shop and
reuse remains a significant part of who we are today,” said Ryan Ross,
Executive Vice President of Rejuvenation. “We look for opportunities to
scale sustainability efforts in partnership with our customers and the
ReStore program will help to raise awareness of the impact that
construction waste has on our landfills.”

Select Rejuvenation stores will be hosting donation events in
partnership with their local ReStores as well as sharing information and
offers for free residential donation pick-up services.

Rejuvenation has also announced a completely revamped bedding assortment
and will now only offer textiles that are 100% organic fiber
construction. Rejuvenation’s new linen bedding collection is crafted
with 100% organic flax fibers at a Fair Trade Certified™ factory and
is Oeko-Tex Standard 100-certified, surpassing the highest criterion of
testing for harmful chemicals and synthetics. Rejuvenation’s new Sateen
Bedding collection is made with 100% organic cotton and crafted at a
family-owned factory in Guimarães, Portugal. The cotton is certified to
the Global Organic Textiles Standard (GOTS), which is recognized as the
world’s leading processing standard for textiles, ensuring both organic
fiber composition as well as a finished product free from harsh chemical
residues.
