Be­ing Sus­tain­able is a line of out­door fur­ni­ture that is made from durable re­cy­cled plas­tic milk bot­tles.The com­pa­ny is an arm of Tourism In­tel­li­gence In­ter­na­tion­al (www.tourism-in­tel­li­gence.com).In a state­ment, the com­pa­ny said the fur­ni­ture is com­fort­able and styl­ish with a con­tem­po­rary Caribbean de­sign, mak­ing it per­fect­ly suit­able for any set­ting. "Be­ing Sus­tain­able is a range of in­tel­li­gent and sus­tain­able so­lu­tions for in­door, out­door, decor and con­struc­tion needs; prod­ucts with at­ti­tude, el­e­gance and de­sign; prod­ucts that do not cost the earth," the com­pa­ny said in a state­ment.

"The fur­ni­ture line is be­ing mar­ket­ed un­der the brand of Be­ing Sus­tain­able, a name cho­sen to re­flect the min­i­mal im­pact the fur­ni­ture's man­u­fac­tur­ing process and ma­te­ri­als have on the en­vi­ron­ment.The fur­ni­ture line was born af­ter more than a decade of ex­pe­ri­ence with de­vel­op­ment and de­sign of out­side liv­ing and din­ning spaces, in some of the harsh­est of en­vi­ron­ments (rain for­est, sea blast, mould and mildew) and with the view of sav­ing time, in­con­ve­nience and main­te­nance costs in the long-term. This durable, low-main­te­nance, yet styl­ish out­door fur­ni­ture de­signed to en­dure the Caribbean cli­mate, saves prop­er­ty own­ers and man­agers in the hos­pi­tal­i­ty in­dus­try mon­ey; a small in­vest­ment which pays ma­jor div­i­dends in the medi­um- to long-term," the com­pa­ny said.

Dr Au­liana Poon, founder and man­ag­ing di­rec­tor of Tourism In­tel­li­gence In­ter­na­tion­al (TII), main­tains that the line is so tough and durable it can be used in con­struc­tion ap­pli­ca­tions-deck­ing and even walk­ways. "The line of­fers nu­mer­ous ad­van­tages over fur­ni­ture made of rat­tan, wood and even met­al. It re­quires no strip­ping, sand­ing, paint­ing or var­nish­ing, and it will not rust or col­lect mold or mildew. In ef­fect, it is vir­tu­al­ly main­te­nance-free," the com­pa­ny said.

The com­pa­ny held its open house at the House of Be­ing Sus­tain­able last Sat­ur­day in Pax Vale, Up­per San­ta Cruz.
