Eagle Industries, LLC, a well known domestic manufacturer of solid wood case goods, reported that it has unveiled a new collection of innovative, eco-friendly outdoor composite furniture called “Bear River.”
The Bear River line includes a wide variety of tables, bars, stools, chairs, benches, plant stands, planter boxes and accessory items. Available in a variety of earth-tone colors, the Bear River collection is designed to be long-lasting and resistant to fading, moisture, insects, and harmful effects of sunlight.
Eagle Industries has partnered with Natures Composites, based in Torrington, Wyo., to supply high quality, durable and sustainable wheat straw-based composite material for the Bear River collection. As a USDA Bio Preferred composite material, Natures Composites is manufactured by combining recycled HDPE plastic with wheat straw. The combination of wheat straw and recycled plastics ensures that the product will not splinter or crack, and can be cut, drilled, or processed the same as similar wood products.
Reusing recycled plastics while utilizing a renewable agriculture product to develop a high-quality, competitively priced line of domestically produced outdoor furniture offers significant benefits to consumers and the environment. The Bear River line is representative of Eagle Industries’ commitment to expanding its reputation as one of the few remaining domestic, eco-friendly furniture manufacturers. That commitment includes involvement with industry organizations such as the Sustainable Furnishings Council, USDA, USGCB and “Made In The USA.”
According to Eagle Industries company officials, the development of partnerships with domestic companies such as Natures Composites further the company’s goal of promoting “American Manufacturing” while reducing any long lasting effects on the environment.
Eagle Industries plans to expand its commercial and residential line in the fall of 2011 to include a variety of new items. The company’s latest expansion into the outdoor furniture market allows it to extend its offering of value-priced, domestically built, quality products to a wider range of retail and commercial consumers.
