Summary
The outdoor restaurant furniture industry is undergoing disruptive changes. According to the International Catering Equipment Association's 2024 report, over 68% of restaurant operators prioritize sustainability and durability in their procurement decisions.
In the past, outdoor restaurant furniture often focused more on cost and appearance in material selection, while neglecting environmental impact and long-term durability. However, with the increasing global attention to environmental protection, consumers' demand for environmentally friendly products is also growing. This change has prompted manufacturers to re-examine their material selection strategies and actively seek more environmentally friendly and sustainable solutions.
Recyclable metals are one of the highly favored materials. Compared to traditional metal materials, recyclable metals have significant advantages. It can not only reduce the exploitation of natural resources, lower energy consumption and environmental pollution, but also generate relatively less waste in the production process. For example, aluminum is a common recyclable metal that has the characteristics of light weight, corrosion resistance, and high strength, making it very suitable for the production of outdoor restaurant furniture. CDG Furniture uses recyclable aluminum materials to make the frame of outdoor restaurant chairs. After special treatment, this aluminum material not only has excellent durability, but also can withstand harsh weather conditions such as rain, sunlight, and salt spray, ensuring that the chair will not rust or deform during long-term use.
In addition to recyclable metals, sustainable blends also play an important role in material innovation for outdoor restaurant furniture. Among them, reprocessing plastic wood and HPL materials are two typical sustainable mixtures. Reprocessed plastic wood is a new type of material made from recycled plastic and wood powder through special processing techniques. It not only has the advantages of water resistance, corrosion resistance, and easy processing of plastic, but also has the natural texture and beautiful appearance of wood. CDG Furniture uses this reprocessed plastic wood to manufacture outdoor restaurant tables, which not only effectively reduces the pollution of plastic waste to the environment, but also provides consumers with a beautiful and practical outdoor dining option.
HPL material is a type of high-pressure laminated board, which is made by impregnating multiple layers of paper with resin and subjecting them to high-temperature and high-pressure treatment. It has excellent properties such as wear resistance, scratch resistance, pollution resistance, and fire resistance. Applying HPL material to the surface of outdoor restaurant tables can not only improve their durability, but also maintain their aesthetic appearance for a long time, reducing maintenance costs.
The growing demand of consumers for environmentally friendly products is an important driving force for innovation in outdoor restaurant furniture materials. Nowadays, many buyers prioritize green alternatives when purchasing outdoor restaurant furniture. They not only focus on the quality and price of their products, but also pay more attention to their environmental performance and impact on the environment. In order to meet the demand of consumers, manufacturers have incorporated green concepts into product design, using environmentally friendly materials and sustainable production processes.
CDG furniture is a good example. In addition to using recyclable metals and sustainable blends to make furniture, they also incorporated biodegradable polyester ropes into the design of outdoor woven rope chairs. This polyester rope can gradually decompose in natural environments without causing pollution to soil and water sources. At the same time, combined with recyclable aluminum material frames, various styles of outdoor woven rope chairs have been created, which are both beautiful and environmentally friendly, and are deeply loved by consumers. This green design not only meets consumers' demand for environmentally friendly products, but also earns manufacturers a good market reputation and competitive advantage.
Outdoor restaurant furniture, due to long-term exposure to outdoor environments, needs to withstand various harsh weather conditions such as ultraviolet radiation, rainwater erosion, temperature changes, etc. Therefore, improving the durability of furniture is one of the important goals of material innovation.
In order to ensure the long-term appearance and stability of outdoor restaurant furniture, manufacturers have taken a series of measures in material selection and handling. On the one hand, they choose materials with good UV and moisture resistance properties. For example, reprocessing plastic wood and HPL materials themselves have certain UV and moisture resistance, which can effectively resist UV radiation in sunlight and erosion from rainwater, preventing material fading, deformation, and decay. On the other hand, manufacturers will also perform special surface treatments on the materials, such as coating with UV resistant coatings, waterproof coatings, etc., to further enhance the durability of the materials.
The implementation of these measures has significantly improved the service life of outdoor restaurant furniture. For outdoor restaurant operators, this means they can reduce the frequency of furniture replacement and lower operating costs. Meanwhile, durable furniture can also provide customers with a more comfortable and safe dining environment, enhancing customer satisfaction and loyalty. Therefore, the application of UV protection and moisture prevention not only meets consumers' requirements for product quality, but also attracts more attention and choices from outdoor restaurant operators.
The material innovation of outdoor restaurant furniture is moving towards sustainability and durability. The widespread use of recyclable materials and sustainable mixtures not only reflects the responsibility of manufacturers for the environment, but also meets the demand of consumers for environmentally friendly products. At the same time, by improving the durability of furniture, the stability of outdoor use is ensured, bringing tangible economic benefits to outdoor restaurant operators. I believe that in the future, with the continuous advancement of technology and the increasing awareness of environmental protection, material innovation in outdoor restaurant furniture will achieve more significant results, creating a greener and more beautiful outdoor dining environment for us.
