Bamboo Cabinetry–Beautiful and Sustainable

Looking to greenify your kitchen or bathroom? Consider custom cabinets from AlterECO – the Sausalito, CA company creates unique, beautiful and sustainable bamboo cabinetry for homes and offices.

The bamboo, wood and other ecologically responsible materials they use are enhanced and protected by premium non-toxic finishes that help contribute to a healthier indoor environment.

Not only are AlterECO cabinets sustainably made and strikingly beautiful, they are designed with your specific needs in mind. Believing that product design should come from a perspective of interconnectedness with the environment, community and life, the B Corp-certified company calls its approach “Sustain” – providing solutions that go beyond the design of the product alone to the holistic design of the space. This approach also offers significant savings opportunities that come from simplification and matching customers’ emotional, visual, tactile and practical needs with responsible solutions.

AlterECO was founded in 1997 by founder Thom Harrison, who says he found “enlightenment” in the then-fledgling concepts of ecological design, green building and conscious business practices that measure success in terms of the “triple bottom line” (people, planet and profit).

“AlterECO was founded on the premise of ecological design alternatives, so the very fabric of the company is green, rather than being simply an afterthought or token product line,” Harrison says. “AlterECO emphasizes education–helping customers understand the importance of responsible design, even if such education leads to less work or the loss of a job (for example, we may suggest that a customer keep their existing cabinets and make simple, low-impact improvements themselves). As such, AlterECO is not a conventional business designed expressly for profit-making, but rather a company with an integrated bottom line that constantly challenges itself to innovate ways to stay true to mission and values while remaining viable as a business concern.

“Sustainability is and must be a constantly evolving objective,” Harrison says, “a journey not only of deep ecology, but also of true compassion and an unwavering commitment to equity and equality for all.”
