Fast furniture is a term that refers to furniture that is produced cheaply and quickly. These items are often bad for the environment because they are made from materials that break easily and need to be replaced often. This creates a lot of pollution, as the furniture ends up buried in landfills where it can harm the soil. To help protect the environment, a movement to move away from fast furniture has begun. Many companies are joining the fight by finding cleaner ways to manufacture furniture.
快傢俱這個詞是用來指低成本又快速製造的傢俱。這些物品通常對環境有害因為它們是由容易破損且經常需要替換的材料製成的。這會造成大量汙染，因為這些傢俱最終會被埋在垃圾掩埋場，進而傷害土壤。為了要幫助保護環境，一場遠離快傢俱的運動已經展開。許多公司正藉由尋求更環保的製造傢俱方式來加入這場抗爭。
