Greening couch potatoes

Who knew soybeans could be so comfortable?
The furniture industry is introducing foam and cushioning made with BiOH’s soy-based ingredients to make your easy chair a little bit greener.
BiOH ingredients replace a portion of the petroleum typically used in foam production. For every 1 million pounds of BiOH Polyols that replace petroleum-based polyols in foam cushioning, approximately 2,200 barrels of crude petroleum is saved. BiOH Polyols produce 36 percent less global warming emissions, 61 percent less non-renewable energy use and 23 percent less total energy demand. Soy-based cushioning is also being used in bedding, carpeting and flooring products.
If you’re looking to lessen your carbon footprint, Crate and Barrel is one of the first retailers to offer soy cushioning in its Lockport sofa and chair collection. Klaussner Home Furnishing is now using BiOH Polyols across most of its product line. And many more furniture manufacturers are making the switch.
