Sustainability is not just for the planet. More than that, this concept also pays attention to human quality of life economically and socially. Moreover, sustainability is one of the hottest trends in the home décor and furniture industry today. As many people are more conscious of the “health” of the planet, retailers and designers do not want to miss this opportunity by investing in products that are beautiful and durable but also made from eco-friendly fabrics and materials.
Besides being made of natural material from fast-growing and non-endangered plant materials, sustainable furniture and décor should emphasize the non-toxic process starting from the very beginning until the end making sure the product is not using many chemicals. The product should also have a reduced carbon footprint or environmental impact, minimize waste, and be ethically made.
Water hyacinth is the answer!
Water hyacinth is a new choice of home décor and furniture material. It has no doubt on sustainability, due to the fact that it is growing so fast and it is easy to find, especially in Indonesia. Water hyacinth is best for home decoration, such as baskets, handbags, picture frames, side furniture, and other decorative materials.
Water hyacinth can form thick mats that cover the entire surface of ponds, choking out native species and oxygen in the water. At first, water hyacinth brings more disadvantages rather than benefit. This plant is detrimental to biodiversity. Water hyacinth increases water evaporation and intercepts light: the subsequent reduction of water oxygen content and increase in water acidity can be lethal to fish.
However, home décor made from water hyacinth has become a new trend lately, especially for those who love bohemian interior themes. Its beauty, uniqueness, facility to mix with other materials, and the fact that it does not need a special maintenance are the reasons why many décor manufacturers in Indonesia are developing new ways to weave it and creating new products from it all the time.
