 At The Framer’s Workshop we are committed to offering sustainable picture frame design by offeringalternative choices in ecologically conscious framin materials. As a certified Bay Area Green Business, we recognize our responsibility to create a healthier workplace and lessen our environmental footprint. The California Green Business Network distinguishes small businesses that protect, preserve and sustain our environment, and we are proud to have earned membership.
Our green framing choices involve the materials we have available for framing, the supplies we use on a daily basis, and our efforts to reuse and recycle as much as possible. We build quality picture frames to last and we guarantee our work for life, so few if any of our frames end up in landfills. To the right is an ever- expanding list of our green framing practices. Below are some of our vendors who are mindful of the environment in their manufacturing processes and choice of materials.
Larson-Juhl. In 1991, Larson-Juhl partnered with American Forests to begin the Global ReLeaf ecosystem restoration project. Since then, Larson-Juhl has planted over a quarter of a million trees throughout the world. We carry a full selection of Larson-Juhl frames. Larson-Juhl is proud to offer a number of custom frame moulding collections that have earned PEFC certification as well as a vast selection of matboards which boast FSC certification. Partnering with Biltmore, which has been a sustainable estate since its opening in 1895, Larson-Juhl has created the Biltmore Collection of moulding, the first collection certified by the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification, PEFC, which traces the chain of custody of the lumber from the forest to the final product so consumers can be confident they are purchasing from a well-managed, sustainable forest. Larson-Juhl also distributes Garrett Moulding patterns which uses North American hardwood that is sustainably grown. The finishes are as eco-friendly as possible and still provide a durable finish. The Framer's Workshop is a Premier Dealer of both The Biltmore Collection and Garrett Hardwoods Frames. Roma Moulding. We are pleased to carry a large selection of Roma mouldings. Roma’s suppliers are eco-friendly. Roma continues to use environmentally friendly packaging. One initiative among many is the use of a natural 100-percent biodegradable packaging material that has replaced Styrofoam. Learn more about Roma’s commitment to the environment .
