Eco – Friendly Furniture at CIFF 2026: Green Sourcing Guide
I. Core Features of Eco – Friendly Furniture at CIFF 2026
1. Furniture Made of Natural and Eco – Friendly Materials
Currently, the international market mainly features relatively mainstream eco-friendly raw materials that are renewable and low-polluting. Examples include solid wood furniture with FSC certification, bamboo furniture with a short growth cycle, and degradable rattan furniture.
Take one of the themes of this exhibition:
Green East – Bamboo Culture and Life. We invite industrial bases, leading enterprises, and designers to hold thematic displays and summit forums to develop bamboo, a small – scale material, into a major industry. It actively promotes the green transformation of trade, showcases the beauty of eastern culture, and aims to turn green mountains and clear waters into valuable assets like gold and silver mountains.
CIFF invites industrial bases, leading enterprises, and designers to hold thematic displays and summit forums, aiming to develop bamboo—a small-scale material—into a major industry.
For example, in the Highlights of the Furniture Materials exhibition area: Top sourcing platform for home design and production; Showcases all categories of furniture materials; CMF surface design & functional upgrades.
In terms of the selection of furniture manufacturing materials, CIFF has a large number of suppliers. Here, you can definitely find high – quality furniture material suppliers that meet environmental protection requirements.
2. Furniture Made of Recycled Materials and with Low – Carbon Processes
– The exhibition will also display products that can be recycled and home furnishing products that can save energy and reduce carbon emissions. For example, solid wood furniture using water – based paint and finished furniture produced in solar – powered factories.
II. “Green Sourcing” for Buyers at CIFF
1. Recognize Environmental Certification Marks
In addition to the FSC certification mentioned earlier, attention should also be paid to China Environmental Labeling Product Certification (CQC), EU ECOCERT Certification, and US GREENGUARD Certification.
2. Proactively Inquire about “Whole – Life – Cycle Environmental Friendliness”
When negotiating with suppliers, you can ask three key questions:
Whether the raw materials come from a sustainable supply chain; Whether there are wastewater/exhaust gas treatment systems in the production process; Whether the products can be recycled after being scrapped.
3. Utilize the Online and Offline Transaction Matching Services of the Exhibition
In 2026, CIFF will still provide professional online and offline transaction matching services.
If you clearly need to purchase brands and products that meet green standards, buyers can directly join our club. Professional staff will assist you in connecting with precise suppliers, reducing the cost of screening.

4. Green Homes at the CIFF Exhibition
Zhang Qiang, the R&D Director of Shenzhen Chang Jiang Furniture, commented:
This year’s CIFF Guangzhou is a great success, far exceeding our expectation. Chang Jiang Furniture adheres to the philosophy of creating the most environmentally friendly furniture in China, which coincides with CIFF’s initiative of green exhibition. During the exhibition, we launched several new products that were widely recognized and praised by customers at home and abroad. Many customers gave a thumbs up, praising that it was healthier to use our products. I wish this event a complete success, and hope both exhibitors and visitors gain more and have better experience here.
III. Long – Term Value of Green Sourcing
With the successive launch of China’s “Dual Carbon” goals and the EU’s *New Green Deal*, sourcing eco – friendly furniture has become one of the mainstream trends in the future.
Especially in terms of market competition, consumers in markets such as Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea have a continuously rising demand for green homes. This is not only due to the influence of the environmental protection trend but also because consumers instinctively believe that eco – friendly products are more associated with the impression of “healthy products”.
In addition, furniture made of eco – friendly materials is more conducive to creating high – end products. If managed properly, sourcing eco – friendly furniture can enhance the competitiveness of high – end products, and the premium space can even increase by 10% – 20%.
