From the selection of raw materials to the end of the product's life, Clébard-Concept cushions are environmentally beneficial in addition to contributing to the well-being of our dogs
Natural raw materials
Cork oak forests are among the most potent carbon sinks globally. The cork bark used for our cushions doesn't involve tree felling; quite the opposite. The cedar used in our cushions comes from the by-products of the timber industry
Made in France
Our cushions are entirely manufactured in France. We value the unique expertise of French sewing workshops that ensure exceptional quality for cushions that remain beautiful for a long time
Return to nature at the end of life
All materials used are selected to last a long time. A cushion that will accompany your dog throughout its long life. The natural materials composing the cushion can then return to nature
Give your dog 100% natural comfort
Our cushions are composed of 90% cork granules and 10% cedar beads.
Cork granules are extracted from the bark of cork oak trees, which are not cut down but instead preserved. The bark is harvested every 9 years starting from the tree's adulthood, typically around its 25th year. These preserved forests are among the most powerful carbon sinks on the planet. A 'harvested' cork oak tree, by naturally renewing its bark, absorbs 2.5 to 4 times more CO2 than an untouched tree. It's estimated that cork oak forests sequester up to 14 million tons of CO2 annually
Red cedar
We only use red cedar sourced from forests in the American West, where its anti-parasitic properties are strongest, and only the amount necessary for releasing its active principles. The cedar beads we use come from the by-products of the construction and furniture industries.
We import directly from the United States, minimizing the transportation process to reduce the carbon footprint of our cushions
A durable cushion
Cork and cedar are rot-proof and dimensionally stable... These materials have an almost unlimited lifespan. And since the cushion doesn't retain the dog's odors, you can keep it indefinitely as it remains hygienic. We aimed to create a dog cushion with no planned obsolescence.
The cover is also durable, and if you tire of its color, you can order a new one...
And at the end of the cushion's life, you can open it and spread its contents in a garden to enrich the soil... back to nature...
