Sustainability and social compliance:-

rattan

• Type of palm tree (calamus rotang)

• Native to Indonesia

• Looks like bamboo, but has a solid inner core

• Grows up to 8 meters per year

• All parts of the material can be used, apart from the thorns
   

• Van der Leeden chooses sustainability and rainforest conservation

• The palm trees are not damaged in the process

• No heavy machinery

• The rattan is bundled and carried out of the jungle by hand
   

• The cut rattan is soaked in local streams

• No chemical treatment

• Soaking without chemicals leads to the beautiful natural colour

• Soaking also increases flexibility
