Etsy HQ Advances Sustainability at all Levels

From reclaimed wood to greenscaping and solar panels.

You may know Etsy as the ultimate marketplace where millions of people around the world connect online and offline, to make, sell and buy unique goods. Well, Etsy's new Brooklyn Headquarters is on track to become the largest Living Building Challenge Petal-Certified project in the world, as they aim to be a fully independent, regenerative ecosystem for a more dynamic interpretation of sustainability.

During the construction of the workspace, 95% of the waste generated from building the office was kept out of landfills to lower Etsy's environmental footprint. The workspace also brings employees closer to nature both inside with greenscaping and outside with landscaped terraces and garden libraries, as well as the use of solar panels on the roof terrace. It is amazing how workspace sustainability can look so stunning!
