In the furniture trade, “recycled teak” and “reclaimed teak” refer to the same material — timber salvaged from decommissioned structures and given a second working life as furniture. No new trees are felled. Permata Furni has manufactured recycled Indonesian teak furniture from our Semarang factory since our founding, supplying B2B buyers across Europe, Australia, the Middle East, and North America with commercial-grade furniture built from 100% salvaged teak.
The term “recycled teak” is widely used interchangeably with “reclaimed teak” in the international furniture trade. Both describe the same sourcing model: teak timber is salvaged from existing structures — bridges, railway sleepers, colonial-era warehouses, traditional houses, and boats — processed, and manufactured into new furniture. No new-growth forest is cleared, and no plantation teak is involved.
Indonesian recycled teak is distinguished from plantation-grown material by two properties that matter commercially:
Indonesia — particularly Java and its surrounding islands — holds the largest stock of aged structural teak in the world. A century of teak construction across the archipelago, now being progressively decommissioned, provides a continuous supply of salvaged timber. Permata Furni sources exclusively from verified demolition and salvage sites in Central Java, tracing each timber lot to its origin.
Our manufacturing facility in Semarang processes all timber through kiln-drying (10–12% MC), metal detection, and grading before milling. Finished furniture is loaded direct to container at Tanjung Emas Port, Semarang, for export to buyer-nominated ports worldwide.
We manufacture across six product categories from our Semarang factory. All items are available from standard catalogue profiles or custom specification from MOQ 10 units per SKU.

Yes. “Recycled teak” and “reclaimed teak” are used interchangeably across the trade. Both refer to teak timber salvaged from existing structures — no new trees are felled to produce it. Permata Furni uses both terms to describe the same material and the same sourcing model.
Recycled teak from aged structural applications is typically more durable than new plantation teak. The wood has been fully seasoned over decades, has higher natural oil and silica content, and is more dimensionally stable. For outdoor and contract hospitality applications, this matters directly to product lifespan.
Yes. We accept custom specifications from MOQ 10 units per SKU, including non-standard tabletop dimensions, thickness specifications (4–7cm slabs), custom leg profiles, and custom finishes. Pre-production samples are available at cost before full production is committed.
For outdoor applications, we recommend re-oiling once or twice a year with teak oil to maintain appearance. Structurally, recycled teak requires no special treatment — its natural oils provide inherent resistance to moisture, pests, and decay. Many buyers in commercial settings allow recycled teak to weather to its natural silver-grey patina, which requires no maintenance at all.
We ship regular FCL containers to Rotterdam, Felixstowe, Melbourne, Fremantle, Jebel Ali (Dubai), and Los Angeles. We can ship to any port worldwide — contact us for freight cost estimates to your nearest port of entry.
Yes. We maintain sourcing documentation for each timber lot including salvage site reference and processing records. This documentation is available to buyers conducting due diligence for EUDR compliance or similar timber legality frameworks in their market.
