A Closer Look at Trica Furniture: Canadian Innovation and Sustainability

Founded in 1988 by the Caron brothers, Trica Furniture has established itself as a leader in the Canadian furniture industry. Located in St-Jerome, Quebec, Trica’s success is built on a foundation of quality. The company’s commitment to excellence is reflected in its state-of-the-art manufacturing processes and its dedication to creating beautiful, durable furniture that stands the test of time.

The Importance of Supporting Canadian-Made Companies

Supporting Canadian-made companies like Trica Furniture fosters local economies and protects the environment. By choosing locally manufactured products, consumers can significantly reduce their carbon footprint. Shorter shipping distances mean less fuel consumption and lower greenhouse gas emissions, making Canadian purchases more eco-friendly. Additionally, Canadian companies are held to higher standards of quality and environmental factors.

Trica’s Commitment to Environmental Responsibility

Trica Furniture is at the forefront of environmentally conscious manufacturing. To minimize environmental impact, the company uses recycled and recyclable materials, such as steel, aluminum, and plastic. Depending on availability, the materials used by Trica contain between 10% to 80% recycled content. Moreover, Trica recycles 100% of its internally generated steel, aluminum, foam, and plastic scraps, as well as all cardboard, paper, and glass.

Another significant aspect of Trica’s commitment to sustainability is the use of eco-friendly finishes. Their paint is lead and VOC-free, ensuring that their products do not release harmful chemicals into the air. This is particularly important as off-gassing from furniture can affect indoor air quality and pose health risks. Trica’s steel products feature a high-temperature baked lead-free powder coating with zero VOCs, and their upholstered seat boards and tabletops are made from low formaldehyde particle boards. Additionally, they use water-based lacquers and stains on wood components, further reducing their environmental footprint.

Trica’s furniture is designed for longevity and ease of repair. Their products can be disassembled and recycled at the end of their useful lives.
