In Singapore’s pursuit of sustainable urban living, MRETTY stands at the forefront of sustainable material selection—a harmonious blend of environmental stewardship, cutting-edge engineering, and timeless design. Our curated selection of eco-friendly materials not only aligns with Singapore’s Green Plan 2030 but also redefines luxury interiors through responsible craftsmanship.
The Imperative of Sustainable Material Selection in Modern Homes
Why Singapore Prioritizes Eco-Conscious Materials
Singapore’s tropical climate and dense urban fabric amplify environmental challenges, from humidity-induced mold to energy-intensive cooling systems. Traditional materials like conventional plywood or PVC contribute to indoor air pollution and long-term ecological footprints. MRETTY’s sustainable material selection addresses this through:
-
Zero Formaldehyde Emissions: Utilizing phenol-formaldehyde (PF) and soy-based adhesives.
-
FSC-Certified Sourcing: Timber from responsibly managed forests.
-
Low-Carbon Lifecycle: Materials designed for recyclability and minimal waste.
Case Study: A Marina Bay condo installed our PF-bonded dining set, reducing indoor VOC levels by 92% and earning a 2024 BCA Green Mark certification.
