The Nassau chair seat and back are made from Social Plastic®, a certified recycled plastic material sourced through a program that pays local collectors in developing communities a premium for plastic waste — directly funding basic family necessities through what would otherwise be discarded material. The chair legs are 100% FSC-certified wood. At $4,247, the result is a complete 8-seat outdoor dining set with certified materials throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003csection class=\"product-section why-choose\"\u003e\n    \u003ch2\u003eWhy Customers Choose This Product\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cul class=\"icon-list why-list\"\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eSocial Plastic® chair seats and backs — recycled plastic sourced through a community-based collection program that pays local collectors premiums to fund basic family necessities\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eFSC-certified wood chair legs — sustainably sourced wood legs complement the Social Plastic® seat and back\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eFSC-certified teak table top — sustainably sourced teak with the natural warmth and outdoor durability of premium outdoor dining furniture\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eBlack aluminum table frame — powder-coated for weather resistance; rust-proof and structurally strong for permanent outdoor placement\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eComplete 9-piece set — table plus 8 Nassau Black armchairs; everything needed for a full 8-seat outdoor dining arrangement\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003e82\" table length — seats 6 to 8 guests with generous per-person width; three per side plus one at each end\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eSanded black finish — contemporary dark aesthetic that suits modern and transitional outdoor spaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003c\/section\u003e\n\n  \u003csection class=\"product-section highlights\"\u003e\n    \u003ch2\u003eProduct Highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"highlight-item\"\u003e\n      \u003ch3\u003eSocial Plastic®: What It Is and Why It Matters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eSocial Plastic® is a certified recycled plastic material developed by Plastic Bank — an organization that establishes plastic collection ecosystems in coastal communities in developing countries. Local collectors gather plastic waste and exchange it at collection points for a premium — cash, digital tokens, or goods — that helps fund basic family necessities including food, school tuition, and medical care. The collected plastic is then processed into Social Plastic® feedstock used in certified products like the Nassau chair. The certification is independently verified through an audited supply chain with documented community impact — it is not a generic recycled-plastic claim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"highlight-item\"\u003e\n      \u003ch3\u003eFSC-Certified Teak Table Top\u003c\/h3\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eFSC certification means the teak used in this table is sourced from forests managed to strict environmental, social, and economic standards set by the Forest Stewardship Council — ensuring responsible harvesting practices, worker welfare, and ecosystem preservation. Teak's naturally high oil content makes it inherently resistant to moisture, rot, and insect damage without annual sealing. Left untreated, it develops a silver-grey patina over time; apply LifestyleGarden Wood Sealer periodically to maintain the original sanded appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"highlight-item\"\u003e\n      \u003ch3\u003eTwo Nassau Chair Versions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eThis set uses the Nassau Social Plastic® chair — Social Plastic® seat and back with FSC-certified wood legs — for a warmer aesthetic with natural wood legs.
