Eco Care is an idea whose time has finally come… beautiful tabletop and wall frames that are entirely earth friendly. Eco Care products use only materials and components that have a high recycled content or come from renewable resources. The frame is made of 100% bamboo with water-based stains, the matting, packaging, and backing is also made of recycled paper. All the materials are recyclable. We are very excited to be able to offer these frames to our customers. There is a wide variety of finishes and sizes available. What you do today makes for a better world tomorrow. Come by to check them out!

In an effort to “green” ourselves at the shop we have been doing a little research on supplies that are friendly to the earth and trying to reduce, reuse, and recycle as much as possible. We just got a line of new eco-friendly frames made out of bamboo, which are beautiful. We are also expecting a line of quality photo frames that are also made from bamboo, have a water based finish, and the packaging is 100% recyclable. I am looking forward to getting those in shortly. As the custom picture framing industry catches up to the greening trend I am hoping that there will be a lot more options available as far as style and finishes.
Here are some photos of the new bamboo frames.

this is about 1 1/2″ wide also available in all three finishes

This one is my favorite with an inlay of the light wood available in both widths.
